Zoo Trips Just Keep Getting Better and Better!

As Phoebe becomes more self-aware, and able to do and understand more things, our zoo trips get more and more interesting! For example, on this trip we spent just as much time looking at animals as we did "practicing how to walk by the stroller." Many tantrums were had, we'll leave it at that. But aside from learning how to behave like a human- NOT an animal, Phoebe saw all sorts of great things at the zoo! One of her favorite parts was the shark petting tank- the oceans exhibit building is the first one when you enter the park, and we spent a goo hour and a half looking at all the animals, leaving, then going back to look at them all again, leaving, then going back...you get the idea. She did NOT want to pet a shark (that's my

girl!) but she did want to watch them swim around and talk to them quite a bit. She had a good time running on the "jump bridge," and thought it was hiralious to pretend sneeze when the rhinos were sneezing...hey, maybe the rhino gave her that cold...
