Addison's Safari

We went to the zoo last week with Aunt Melissa and cousin Nate. Addison was very excited to go to the zoo. They immediately gave her a card and a crown to wear. The crown was off in seconds, but the card was a different story. . .
We first stopped to see the rhino. Every animal we stopped at, Addison wanted to get out of her stroller and be held up so she could see better. (notice the card is still in her hand)

The elephants were in Tulsa this time, but that didn't stop us from taking a ride on the elephant statue!

Still holding the card. . . .
What a beautiful zebra! I love that the zebras, giraffes, ostriches, and some different types of birds were all in a section together. It was like an African safari!

Baby giraffe and her momma.

Daddy giraffe was BIG!
The baby giraffe was less than a year old (sorry for all the giraffes, but I just love giraffes!)
One cute family!

Here is Nate's favorite animal. . the opaki. It is related to the giraffe. Looks an aweful lot like a zebra to me though!

Addison voluntarily jumped over to her Aunt Melissa for part of the visit. . . .with her card in her hand of course.
We went to story time. Addison got to eat Animal Crackers and she tried to drink from a juice box. Still got the card. . .

I didn't even realize he was on my back until Melissa said something! I don't exactly look relaxed about it do I?

You got any food in there?

Addison loved seeing all the pretty birds. We got nectar to feed the birds, but we let Nate do most of the feeding for us. I'm just glad we didn't get pooped on!
Can you guess who was the birds' favorite?
Our last stop was the petting zoo. Addison saw the goats, which she called dogs. She actually called several of the animals dogs. We might need to work on that some more. . . She loved looking at the animals, but she didn't want to pet these goats.
This was the smallest goat. So cute!
p.s. Addison still has her card. . .

And what was Addison's favorite animal? The chickens! This one really big chicken kept running around and ruffling his feathers and bawking like crazy. . . Addison loved it!
This is Addison when we got home. She loved the zoo, but she was pretty tired. She still has her card though. . . .
