Naptime at the zoo

Since we were finally home for a weekend, we took advantage of the nice weather and headed to the zoo after church today. We've been working with Hannah on learning animals, so we thought she'd have fun actually seeing them in person. She was mildly interested, but I'm sure some of her lack of excitement was due to the fact that most of the animals were taking their afternoon naps. Turns out that they like to soak up the sun and nap in the afternoon just like we do!


Hannah liked the wallabies jumping in the grass.


If you look close, the wallaby standing has a joey popping out of her belly. Yesterday was the first day that they had been back at the zoo, so they were a little people-shy. I guess once they warm up, they hop right out to you to be petted. We're looking forward to that the next time we go!

The only animal awake in the petting area was this goat. Hannah wasn't too sure about him.


The lion exhibit is fairly new at the zoo, so we were excited to check it out. The lady lion was hanging out in the shade right up next to the window, so we got a great view. Mr. Lion was napping in the sun up on some rocks, so we'll have to see him better next time.


The tiger in the exhibit behind us was actually on the move, pacing from window to window checking us all out. Hannah really liked him.


A few of the monkies were about the only animals that seemed to be wide awake.


Our sad attempt at a family picture.

Although a lot of the animals were snoozing, we still had a wonderful time. We're really looking forward to making more trips this summer. I'm sure Hannah will love it more and more every time we go.
