Yesterday was both Lilly's and her brother's first time to visit a zoo. It was a cloudy day - perfect for Lilly's sensitive eyes. I figured we'd have an interesting time as we walked towards the entrance and in front of us was a man - presumably with his family - wearing a skirt! And no not a kilt. It was an "industrial" skirt for "manly men." Ooookay ... I had heard about those in the past but had never actually seen one. Besides that oddity, we saw many animals and did so much walking. The most interesting thing I actually learned was that a rhino's horn is actually made of hair! Here are some pictures of Lilly around the zoo:
Riding a baby elephant (statute):
Taking a lunch break (bolus feed):
Lilly in front of the giraffes (she got a lot of laughs and smiles as people passed us and saw her sunglasses):
Lilly by lily pads:
At the children's playground -Lilly on a giant climbing spider web:
Lilly in front of the carosel (which disappointingly closed just before we got to it):
Lilly riding the tram between "North America" and "Africa":
Lilly was tired enough from all the fun that she slept in past 11:00 this morning.
so glad you had fun little one!
ReplyDeletelove,
mah mah
How fun!!
ReplyDeleteI almost had a heart attack when I saw that first picture. I thought that Lilly was sitting on one of those animals in the petting zoo area. But what an ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS picture! I love her hair. She looks so adorable.
ReplyDeleteWish you had taken a picture of that really strange animal in the 'industrial' skirt. After all, it is Halloween and I could use a good fright!
Getting ready for you, Lilly!
Love, Shisshy
Lilly,
ReplyDeleteyou had a great time on the big spider web!!! The elephant was so fun to sit on!!! :-D
Your post made me laugh out loud about the "industrial skirt!" I saw a guy wearing one at the Apple Store, he works there and I was like, "Huh, is that a kilt or a skirt?" I'm still scratching my head on that one! I love the pic of Lilly by the lily pads. The Lord must be so pleased with how you truly cherish your family. I continue to be humbled by you (and blessed, really blessed).
ReplyDeleteLove in Christ,
