Trip to the zoo

We went to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia on Friday. The zoo itself was fun. Taking 2 little kids was an experience. It would've gone better if Chloe had a nap. I thought she would sleep on the way there (it's about a 90 minute drive). But no, she was wide awake, screaming and everything. Actually, these first few pics are at the end of the trip when she was having a better time. She liked this carousel ride. At first she was freaked out but then she like it and wanted to go again. When it ended she said "nee, nee". That's "again" in Chloe language. I liked the animal she was on, a babboon eating a banana. Funny. The above pic looks like he's looking right at you.

Just another shot of the babboon and the red-faced animal and moi... :)

Here I am right as it started trying to convince Chloe that she'd really have a good time.

This face pretty much sums up our whole day at the zoo. They had animal statues around the whole place and I wanted to get a pic of her on one. It didn't go well. Click on the pic to get a good look at that lower lip.

Here's a gator just like the one that was wandering around our neighbors yard about a month ago.

Here we are on the train ride. She really hated that. She was frozen still on my lap the whole time.

Pretty flamingoes. I've always liked these animals. FYI: They sound just like geese.

Chloe loved the bears. There were a few of them but this one in particular kept running back and forth. It was funny because the one on the other side of the den (or whatever it's called where they are) was fast asleep. So asleep he had sleep twitches! Cute!

I should've gotten a picture of all 4 of us but I didn't even think about it! Sorry!

Since you're already reading about my life, wish me luck. I'm venturing to make an Elmo cake for the little girl's 2nd birthday tomorrow. I've never decorated a cake on my own before. Hopefully it turns out. Don't worry, I'll post pics of it!
