Zoo Day

Welcome to the Zoo!

Walking to the Zoo entrance

Scott and I got to take Audrey to the zoo on Thursday.  What we didn't realize was that everyone else in Denver decided to take their kids to the zoo on Thursday as well.  We had to park around the back of the zoo by a very nice park and walk to the entrance, almost an outing in itself. It was Scott's only free day that he's had in two months so we needed to make the most of it.  The weather was great so we didn't let a few hundred-thousand people hold us back!

Once we got inside the zoo it was so funny to watch Audrey.  She spent the whole trip with a very serious look on her face.  She has learned to say a few words and one of the words she knows the best is "more".  From the time we entered the zoo until the time we left we were serenaded by a constant stream of "more. more. more".  We tried milk, ice cream, snacks, walking, carrying, but nothing was filling the need for "more." (Although, I will say the ice cream was clearly the front runner for what she was wanting...)

How do you Measure Up?

A Little African Drumming

Audrey is a sponge and it was so fun to watch her study EVERYTHING around her at the zoo. All the other little kids are running around and yelling and she had on her daddy's "reading face" as she tried to understand this complicated land we had driven her to.
