So yes, this was in April. And I know it is now June, but at least it is getting posted, right? Lilly won her class coloring contest (it was the impressive use of glitter glue) and got to pick out an animal for the class to adopt. She chose the elephants in honor of our newest zoo member, Kinzey.
Our first stop was the children's zoo where they are apparently raising free range chickens.
Lilly followed them around, trying to catch one because she is certain they want her to pet them.
The fact the chickens are working so hard to get away from her hardly deters her.
Meanwhile all the other kids from school have spent time here at the river otter exhibit.
They just swam the same path but Lilly never "saw" it.
So we stayed there for quite some time!
We finally made our way to the playground. She slid down the slide several times and hid in the hippo mouth for awhile. We did not see a single class mate on the playground.
So we call Lilly the Lollygagger....
We finally make it to the petting zoo which is basically a bunch of goats. There were some babies too!
And Lilly brushed every single one of them!
Next stop for us: the Carousel!
After the carousel, we decided to go look for Baby Kinzey in the River Walk section of the zoo. We got sidetracked by this little guy. The friendliest orangutan ever! He just sat there willing all of us to please sit and chat for awhile. And Lilly did.
So we still have not found the elephants. Somehow though we manage to get back to the carousel which we ride again! This time, our friend Chris was there and introduced us to the carousel manager who gave us a free pass!
