Zoo II

We love the zoo!  We finally made our second zoo trip (after our first last October).  We picked what turned out to be a beautiful day, and "my Rachel" (as the girls call her) went with us, so we had a wonderful girls day out.  They loved the zoo just as much the second time as the first.  We started on the other end so we could see what we did not make it around too last time.  Two year olds have a limited attention/endurance span ... as do pregnant mommies!

I took the double stroller although I'm not sure why since they both wanted to just hold Rachel's hand and walk all day while I ended up pushing an empty stroller.  But it came in handy to carry the diaper bag and food. Madeline says her favorite was the monkeys, and Annabel says her favorite was the elephants.  I think my favorite was the giraffes.  We can't wait to go back again ... and next time, we'll take brother James.  :>)

They loved the fountains almost as much as the animals.

Picnic time ... they both wanted to sit by Rachel!

Saying bye bye to the zoo.  See you again soon!
