Elizabeth's first Zoo trip

If you know me, you know one of my very favorite places on earth is the World Famous San Diego Zoo. I love it! We have season passes and go as often as we can. So I was excited to take Elizabeth for her first, post birth zoo trip. This is how she spent most of the trip:
Yeah, I know, what a party poopper. She did wake up briefly towards then end because she needed to eat. FYI, the hummingbird exhibit is a great place to nurse a baby. Not a lot of people go through there, there is a long bench area to sit, and you can watch hummingbirds. Plus it is close to the skyfari, so Grace and Gunnar rode that while I fed the baby. It was a perfect relaxing way to end the zoo trip.

Grace enjoyed the zoo more than her sister. She got to walk under the belly of a huge elephant statue (if that doesn't sound like fun, I don't know what does).

She also found her name on a sign. Super exciting.
She checked out the polar bears (who were sleeping).
And the zebras too.
I also greatly enjoyed my time. I loved seeing the polar bear was sleeping just like my girls and Gunnar, with his hands over his face.

I got to see my very favorite animal at the zoo, the otter. It allows me to make cheesy otter jokes, which I love. You really otter see them, they are so cute!
My very favorite part though, is watching my beautiful daughter check out the animals and the world around here. God is so good to allow me the gift of being her mom!
