Zoo with Gabby Girl

The boys invited Aunt Gina and Gabby to the zoo with us as our guests.  With the flamingos and penguins, we figured that there had to be something that she would see/enjoy.

Upon spotting Gabby in the parking lot, Connor was adamant about walking with her and helping Aunt Gina stroll her in to the zoo.

After the quick tram ride, we checked out the penguins who were at feeding time, which doesn't generally relate to a lot of swimming.

We headed inside to the new exhibit hoping that the penguins would swim by but they were too busy getting their fish.  Jackson measured up to the penguins.  While the boys learned about how penguins use camouflage in the water, Gabby was taking everything in and having a late breakfast.

 

We moved along to let Gabby and Aunt Gina see the flamingos. They were hungry and searching for shrimp.

We were walking toward the Giraffe house and Gabby caught some walking toward her. She shrieked to confirm that she could see them. It was the best!!!

She obviously LOVES herself some giraffes.

Besides the giraffe and flamingos, we are sure that she saw the elephants. While the boys snacked, Gabby got an up close view on the rail of them. They were having a snack of peanuts. 

After the elephants, we strolled over to catch up on the cubs. They were very active rolling around
with one another and jumping on each other.  It was the most active that we have ever seen them.  Such a great day and so happy that we could spend it with Gabby and Aunt Gina.  This day confirmed the good that can be of the boys only going to school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  We are looking to more fun with Gabby.
