Going to the zoo 3/21/08

Several of our friends have family passes to the zoo, and until we had Claire we never really considered the zoo to be so fun! But with a little kid who sees everything for the first time… I have to admit it was a blast. I thought Claire would just chill in her stroller and maybe get fussy (we skipped naptime that day). Claire was standing up, pointing, ooohing and ahhhing, clapping at the animals, and looking all around! It’s like we brought her to look at the animals, and the rest of us just went to see her reaction to everything. Jeff, Jennifer and Ashely (Jeff’s girlfriend) joined Claire and I and I know that we will be going back again soon. Claire especially liked the tigers, the fish at the aquarium, the giraffe (they had babies too) and the sea lions since they were making a lot of noise. We didn’t get to see all the animals, but we will go back, especially to visit the petting zoo and to ride the carousel.
