It's the zoo, doodley do!

On Sunday, instead of our usual day of trying to get things done around the house, we decided it would be a better idea to take the girls to the zoo. And as MacKenzie loves animals, we invested in a year long membership to the zoo. It really wasn't that expensive and the zoo allows you to bring in your own food, cooler and all.

Last time we went to the zoo, MacKenzie was right around a year old...and still not very interested in the animals...but boy was she interested this time!



(Yes, we are still working on her brushing skills. The wooden handle probably wasn't what the goat wanted to be brushed with. But...she did give all of her attention to this particular goat and ignored all of the other animals.)
She loved the giraffes, the elephants, the cows, the bears (which were having private time in front of everyone), the petting zoo, and the carousel. We worked on animal noises and went home sunburned and exhausted. Delaney chose to sleep. But we did bring her out for a photo op in front of a bird.

Sadly we did not get to take a picture of MacKenzie in front of the elephant shaped bush. The Houston zoo had a baby elephant named Mac. So the first time we went to the zoo, we figured it would be cute to get her picture in front of the elephant bush. And the next time we went to the zoo, we took her picture again in front of the elephant bush. But this time, when we went to where the elephant bush should have been, it was gone. We're pretty sure it's because Mac the elephant died last year. So sad.
