Afternoon at the Zoo

I heard on the news a few weeks ago there was a baby elephant at the zoo, and I thought Rylee would love to see it (and I really wanted to also) so this afternoon we went. Caity was nice enough to come with us and help take pictures and be Rylee's zoo buddy. At first I had only heard about the baby elephant, but there was also a baby giraffe, 3 baby tigers, and a baby snow leopard. The baby elephant was the first baby animal we saw today. Baby Zuri and her mommy walked right in front of us and Zuri even splashed in the water. Then we saw a few other animals and then it was lunch time. At lunch Rylee was quite the chip stealer, she actually hid Caity's chip bag in her lap once when Caity was looking at the penguins. After lunch we went to see Baby Jamal, the giraffe. Rylee was pretty annoyed that he was napping, and kept yelling at him "Jamal, wake up!" Then it was off to see the baby snow leopard, and he was laying down but had his head up so we got to see him really well. The three baby boy tigers were hard to see and get a picture of because they were up napping in the shade with their mom, but Rylee was satisfied with seeing the big tiger. Rylee then took Caity on the carousel at the zoo, and then to the gorillas. The final stop of the day was the zoo train, and then the car where two kids were sound asleep very fast.
