animal kingdom

if you know me, you know i'm not an animal person. i don't ever want to have pets (besides the occasional beta or goldfish... and yes, i know i haven't hit the kid-begging-for-a-puppy-that-they-promise-to-take-care-of stage yet). no thank you. too dirty, too hairy, too expensive, you get the picture. (sorry all you animal lovers, i totally grew up with a dog, two cats, and fish).

animal print?

different story. i got into the zebra thing when i was 14 and it never really faded.

oh, and the zoo is fine too. especially for two-year-old entertainment purposes.

we took a little trip to the franklin park zoo {july 30... thank you free library passes}


(landen showing off the new double stroller, loving it)



we thought it should have been more appropriately named...



kidding. it was pretty good for a small zoo. of course we were comparing to the san diego and portland zoos. where are the penguins and elephants when you need them? instead we saw chickens...


love a good chicken

and prairie dogs...



and crazy birds...



i wonder if the chicken nuggets are fresh *wink *wink (you know that liquid ice lemonade is mine)



back to the animals



funkiest "do" award goes to our friend pumba



woah. we need a sweet picture after looking at that guy. watching the ducks...


(can you tell we picked the most humid day, fresh after a rain storm?)

these black giraffes were cool



i think sophie's favorite was the sleeping lion. she went back for seconds.



we should probably end with my favorite again :)

oh yeah, piper snoozed the whole time. i think the stroller passes the test.
