Zoo Trip

The weekend following Lucy Mills' eye surgery, we decided that a trip to the zoo would be a perfect way to spend a day after being cooped up inside.  There is only so much video watching . . .

and princess tent playing . . . 

that these two can handle.  So off to Riverbanks we went - and with the beautiful fall weather, it seemed to be just what the doctor ordered.  Remember our last trip there?

:: Um, Daddy this ones not real, right? ::

:: Mommy and McClain - and the elephants ::

:: Hey Mr. Giraffe ::

There is an area where you can feed the giraffes and Lucy Mills walked herself right up to do just that.  

Small child + large animal = nervous mama. 

But the giraffe must have done this a few times because he ate the lettuce right out of my sweet girl's hands.  I'm not sure who was more excited, Lucy Mills or me? 

:: Round two ::

 She also enjoyed walking through the barn to milk the cow. 

Lucy Mills was such a trooper all weekend recovering from her surgery.  She loved being at the zoo and Daddy bought her a little sucker to occupy her so she wouldn't rub her eyes. 

Here we are, sucker in hand, watching the howling monkeys.  Those guys were loud! See him swinging over there? 

By the end of our zoo adventure Daddy was ready for me to stop taking pictures, Lucy Mills wanted a nap, and McClain wanted her sucker.  

We really did have the best day together.
