Since we have been spending so much time trying to get ready for baby #2, we decided to take Cortlynn up to the zoo and spend some time with her. It was especially fun this trip because the zoo has had a bunch of cute baby animals born over the summer. Cortlynn was excited to go and see the baby elephant, although I don't know who was more excited about the baby, me or her.
Here are some pictures of the one month old baby elephant. She doesn't have a name yet, but this was her first weekend out for zoo goers to see. It was so fun because you don't usually see elephants running around playing. She kept chasing her balls and running all over the place. She even posed for us. It was great.
This is a picture of Cortlynn holding her baby brother so he could be in the picture with her. She was so worried he would feel left out.
The tigers also had three baby cubs over the summer. In this picture you can see one baby laying by his mother, but the rest were hiding.
Here is the baby giraffe that was born a few months ago. He was pretty funny, there was some water on a drain on the floor and he kept bending down to lick it. The only thing is when he would try to get up, he had spread his legs so far apart he would about face plant it into the cement. It was pretty funny.
I wanted to take a picture of Cortlynn with her new hat and baby eleplant, but she wouldn't give me a straight face. So here are some funny faces for the day.
After leaving the zoo we stopped at Costa Vida for lunch. It was really good and they were giving away free long board ice cream bars. As you can see, a full morning at the zoo sure takes a tole on a three year old when they wake up at 5:30 in the morning because they were so excited.
This is definitely one of my favorite times of the day, I hardly ever see her sit still so I try to enjoy it when I can.
