Washington Zoo



Friday we went to the Washington Zoo. The girls had a great time. Malloy wanted to get in the exhibits with all the animals...mostly the really dangerous ones like the tigers, lions, gorillas, panda bears. When we got to the tortoise exhibit she said " I love all dem" while motioning her hand/arm in a circle then wanted to "get in der". When it came to the elephant, Malloy screamed "daddy look, its an elephant!". She really didn't like the invertebrates and didn't even want to be close to the glass. They had a new addition to the Gorilla family and It was just the cutest thing I have ever seen! It was the size of a human infant and just clung and crawled all over mom. The girls were excited to see the orangutans make their way up a tower and make their way across the wires to the other building. Monroes favorite animal was the elephant shrews (They looked like mini ant eaters). Monroe has been asking to go the zoo for quit some time now so you can just imagine how excited she was when she found out where we were going for the day! I love to suprise the kids:)
