The Zoo

Sunday we finally got a chance to bring Olivia to the Zoo.  We decided to go early and not wait for the afternoon after her nap to get a good amount of time there.  We got to the zoo around 10:00, met Mima there and started our little zoo adventure.  Olivia was pretty tired to begin with and we had her in her stroller for the first 45 minutes.  She didn’t seem to care too much about anything, but did smile and say some of the animal’s names.  We decided after we got into the reptile building to let her run around and see stuff instead of being stuck in the chair.  This is what she really wanted and after that she had a great time.  We saw all kinds of animals and the weather was perfect.  She got to ride a carousel again and loved it.  She got to feed giraffes and have birds sit on her head.  When we bought the little cup of nectar for the bird area we had no idea how close the birds would come.  The lady said “go in and hold on to the cup tight.”  As soon as we walked in the birds swooped and were all over us.  Livi was pretty tolerant until two landed on her head, after that it was a little much and she started squirming.  I passed her off to Brooke and the birds stayed with me, except on that stayed on Livi’s head for the rest of the time, but I don’t think she noticed.  We just couldn’t stop laughing.  It was a great day at the zoo and plan on going again for sure.
