Zoo Trip

Last week, Joey had Tuesday off from work.  Since the weather has been so beautiful, we decided to do something outdoors.  Of course, the perfect choice was the zoo.  Joey hadn't had a chance to go to the zoo with us this year.  It was a great day for the zoo.  The weather was absolutely perfect.  We couldn't have asked for a nicer day.  Since it was during the week, there was hardly anyone there.  It felt like we had the zoo to ourselves.  We had a great time.  Of course Ashlyn's favorite was the hippo.

She is so obsessed with them.

Ella and Dawson in front of the chimps.  Since I was watching Ella that day, she got to come with us.

We had a great time watching the chimps.

Dawson enjoyed looking around.

Ashlyn hatched out of an egg.

This time we tried something new, we let Ashlyn feed the chickens.  She really enjoyed it, although the chickens are very aggressive. 

Luckily, Dad was there to help.

After the chickens, Ashlyn wanted to feed the giraffes. 

She was afraid at first, but she then had a blast.
