Zoo day!

On Tuesday my mom's work had their zoo day which meant that when it closed at 5:00 pm for everyone else, we had it all to ourselves. Thankfully it wasn't too hot and we were able to have a really fun time. They had hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner which Eliza thoroughly enjoyed. Lately she loves anything she can dip in ketchup (pizza, pickles, goldfish crackers...) We also got to ride the train and the carousel which was fun for Eliza. Eliza has learned to make a lot of animal sounds so that made it very entertaining. Then we went to the bird show. They have trained most of the birds to fly right above the crowd's heads and Eliza liked that a lot. She got a good view of them. After that it was getting a little late and Eliza was starting to get cranky so we quickly made our way down to the big cats and the giraffes. When we looked into the cougar's area Eliza started shouting, "cat, cat, cat!" which made us all laugh. That's definitely not the type of cat you want to pet, though.
Thank you to Grandma for letting us come to the zoo with you and for the fun time! And for going on the exciting train ride so many times. : )
