My parents took us to this zoo when Chris and I were little kids!
Ellie liked the moose and bear in the gift shop.
She also liked the cozy reading nook.
This private residence is inside the zoo. Annette and I joked that this will be Ellie's house when she grows up.
Ellie with some elk.
I remembered this aviary from when I was little.
Ellie climbs up into the eagle's nest...
...and shows us her wingspan.
They had this turtle when I was a kid!
Ellie asks, "Wanna lick me, donkey?"
She likes this miniature horse.
Dolphin as barnyard animal?
Ellie wanted to pet these turkeys, but we kept her away. She was fascinated to learn that turkeys get diarrhea, though! Ah, poop: A main focus of
toddlerhood.
Ellie likes seeing this barn owl.
I love this picture that Annette took of the barn owl.
