Fun at the Zoo

After spending 3 hours at the zoo, I have come to the conclusion that ALL zoo animals are severly depressed!! :) Seriously, all the animals were hidden in a corner fast asleep. They are sleeping because they are bored, hot and in a 10x10 room and feel extremely cramped. Okay enough about that....I just feel bad for all the animals that are stuck and will never be able to run free. :) Other than that, Payten LOVED the zoo. Her favorite animals were the giraffe and the elephants. We got to watch the elephants get their daily bath. She sat there the whole time, wided-eyed and enjoying every minute of it. Since she has a stuffed giraffe that she sleeps with every night, she was excited to watch the giraffes play. She calls them "raffs". It was extremely hot, but that did not seem to slow her down. She was pretty upset when we had to leave. We had a great time... Payten's new favorite thing is Finding Nemo. She has been watching it everyday. I am amazed at how long she will sit in front of the t.v. while Nemo is on. She will go and get Finding Nemo out of the DVD rack, get the DVD out of the case and try to stick it in the DVD player. She will practically beg for one of us to put it on for her. This little girl loves animals and baby dolls. It is so neat to watch her personality grow as well as her interests. We were laughing at how long the giraffes neck was. Pretty funny!!?? haha ( I guess that's pretty funny to a two year old.) She really enjoyed the petting zoo. She kept trying to brush their fur even though they were trying to eat.
