Throughout the past week, her teacher-parents have been doing a few things to "build background" (shout out to Dr. Bob!) about the zoo. We visited the pet store to get a new battery for Paco's collar and, while we were there, peeked in on some of the critters in their cages. We also borrowed a DVD from the library about a visit to the zoo.
Based on this prior knowledge, Amity arrived at the zoo today expecting to see animals like the gorila,
the meerkats,
and some giraffes.
However, she wasn't expecting to see anything like this:
Of course, other zoo-goers were not expecting to hearanything like the noise that Amity's daddy loves to make when he is around pretty much any animal. He really had some of them thinking that there were some rogue animals calling out from the trees.
It was a beautiful day to spend with cousins...
and with PopPop and Lolly! 
I think we may have worn them out!
Amity snuck in a short nap too...
but she was wide awake when we entered the Children's Zoo where she petted a bunny,
waded in the water, 
slid down a slide with Mom,
and took a family picture.
Yea for a perfect first trip to the zoo!
