We've been to the zoo several times, but each time it is always new to the kids..especially Saige. Sometimes she's interested in the animals, sometimes she just wants to walk, and sometimes she is most interested in things found at ground level. Regardless, I always take some pictures of the animals so she can have something to look at. On this particular day, Dayton was in school and although both girls were a little sick they weren't sick enough to keep them home.
Seeing the cheetahs is rare. Capturing such a beautiful picture is something to treasure.
Saige was tired of the stroller. Daddy was tired of Saige stopping to look at every speck on the ground.
Abby throwing herself on the ground in dramatic girl fashion. Can't recall what the fuss was about but it was a common sight that day! Poor Abby - it is so tough being two.
Saige walking through all the dried up muddy puddles she could find despite being told not to.
A cute picture of Daddy & Saige. I don't have too many of those.
As Saige would say "the Waffs"
Manny the nanny (well really it is Shannon's husband, but many times throughout the trip he occupied all the kids with fun and games) with both girls.
Trying to capture a cute picture of Saige but she's looking way too serious.
The "wizards" sitting in a row. There is actually a third one but there were too many kids in the way to capture it and someone was in the display feeding them.
Abby riding a fake turtle bench. She was more interested in the bench than in the actual giant turtles. Perhaps she thought it was real?
I love this shot because for a brief moment it almost looks like a mirror image.
The monkey section wasn't too active that day. It was hot. Not enough people to perform.
Saige looking way cool in her sunglasses but really she is sound asleep.
Abby and her daddy checking something out. I can't recall what, but it was a cute shot of the two of them. Daddy's and their girls always make for some cute shots.
