zoo

This Sunday we took our first trip to the zoo! No, we did not just take our 6 month old, she didn't give a hoot about it, but we did take our niece Allison and my sister-in-law Ashley. Allison turned 2 last week and this was sort of her birthday present. She's really into animals and copying everything you say, a good combination.

Our first stop was to the polar bear. They were feeding him so we got to see him swim.

Our next stop was to the snakes. Allison thought those were pretty cool. I'm not a fan but she got up close and personal.

This is Adelaide not giving a hoot. But she was good for us. It was the perfect day, not too hot and there was a nice breeze...until it started to rain. 

It started to get cloudy and Ashley and I, being the good mother's that we are, thought we should head back. We got to the tram and Tyler thought we should just walk back. "It's not that far" Ash and I felt differently and said we're taking the tram. No sooner had we gotten on and it started to downpour. We have great luck. Although we only spent an hour there we had a great time. Plenty of time for a 2 year and 6 month old. The Kansas City Zoo is definitely for older kids, too much walking. Oh, Allison figured out that Adelaide likes to lick and chew fingers right now, she took advantage.
