Zoo

About a month ago we got season passes to the Atlanta Zoo. The first time that we went, we headed straight for the African animals. Emma loved to see the animals that, up to that point, she had only seen in books. Her favorites were the elephant, the giraffes, and the birds. She also loved the playground at the zoo and watching the carousel, although she did not want to go for a ride . We're excited to have season passes. The Zoo is great for kids and has lots of different attractions.

A couple weeks later we went to the Zoo for Pam's (Emma's aunt) birthday. Andreja was at the beach, so Steve joined us in her place. Pam is a huge fan of Steve and seeing him was the highlight of the event for her. This time we arrived right after the zoo opened and headed straight for the pandas before the line got too long. It was still pretty empty and Emma enjoyed running to the panda exhibit, which was in at the back. The Panda's were beautiful, fascinating creatures, but we did not enjoy them for too long because, after about five minutes, Emma took off running towards some other exhibits. We then got to see the Gorillas eat and the little ones wrestle with each other. They also have a great naked mole rat exhibit that has its own playground filled with tunnels, which was the highlight for Emma. After the Zoo, we headed to the Varsity (one of Pam's favorites) for lunch. It was a fun day, even though we had to do it without Andreja:-)

Below is a slide show from our two trips to the Zoo.
