ZOO TIME


We decided to take advantage of the last of the good weather and go to the Zoo to see the new baby elephant. Little did we know that there were several other babies to see also.

The baby elephant was so cute. They had her and her mother in the back giving the mother a snack and a shower of water so we had to wait a few minutes. We took our seats near the fence so we would have a good view of the baby elephant when she came out. Soon we could see the shadow of the mother elephant making her way out to the yard and before the mother elephant could even get outside the baby elephant came running out ahead just like a toddler. She ran around playing with one of the balls and then sitting on some plastic thing and squishing it and then hitting the toys along the fence line. She was so adorable.

We also saw a baby monkey. The mother is black and white but the baby is just all white. It is the cutest fur. It was all curly like those really soft curly stuffed animals you see.

We also saw a baby giraffe. We all commented how small it was but then we looked over at the measurements on the wall and realized that even though it seemed small it was still 7 feet tall!
There were baby snow leopards which were hiding and some baby tigers pups which were up too high to get a picture of.


We had a wonderful time at the zoo and seeing all the animals. If you get a chance you have got to go see that cute baby elephant and all the other adorable babies that are there. It is so worth it.
