The Zoo

We took Jayla to the zoo for the very first time. It was so much fun. We aren't sure who had more fun... Jayla or us. Jayla loves animals. It was fun to take her because she can now recognize the animals and she knows what noise that animal makes. She got more into it than we expected! It was so much fun!

We were excited to see the elephants. Especially the baby elephant.

Jayla was afraid of this elephant. It would make noises and she wasn't so sure about the noises.

We got to ride the carousel for the first time ever. Jayla absolutely loved it! She was a little nervous at first but she warmed right up to it.

We also got to ride on the train. Jayla loved it because she was able to look at all of the animals as we went by.

Does it look like she is having fun?


Of course we had to get a picture of Jayla and the big gorilla... the only problem was that Jayla wasn't too fond of the gorilla.


Jayla had to chase the peacock... hopefully nobody was watching.


The giraffes were one of Jayla's favorite animals at the zoo because she could get so close to them and watch them eat. She loved to try to touch them.

Ahh, wouldn't this be the life? Next to the giraffes, Jayla liked the monkeys the best. They were always doing funny things, swinging around on trees and starring right at us.

Here are a few cute pictures I took of Jayla at the zoo.

This was Jayla at the end of the day. Poor girl... she was so exhausted from all of the fun we had that she couldn't even stay awake to finish her cookie! It was a good day!!
