Zoo take two

We went to the zoo right when we first moved here, but since Steven had the whole week off, we thought it would be fun to go again. We tried to get Emma to go down for a nap before we went, but she apparently wasn't tired...until 20 minutes before we got there. She was cranky until  she started playing on the playground. Then she started having fun. I think she would have enjoyed it more if she hadn't been so tired, but she was fairly pleasant the whole outing. She did do her best to stay awake though, she barely stopped to watch the animals...once she saw them she was on to the next one! She loved the carousel this time, and then we even got dinner at Texas Roadhouse...mmmm! To add on to Steven's good day...we stopped at In and Out for lunch on the way, and he picked up a lat attachment for his cable machine in his gym. We are all very exhausted, but it was a good day.

In and Out Burger

Sliding was fun.

Checking out the flamingos..."Hi birds, I'm Emma!"

It was more fun this time since she is a little older.

Trying to see all by herself.

We let her run the whole time...she ought to be TIRED.

Checking out some fish...

Turtles

She loved the giraffes....but was more enamored by the squirrel she found.

We tried to get her to stay and watch the lions...

The cubs were playing with each other.

Looking for the tiger...Rarrr.

Zebras.

Looking at the Chimps.

Where are they?

Up high!

Watching the coin go down.

No, we did not let her get the lion.

Also...Steven looked at that picture and said, "My arms are getting big."

Texas Roadhouse...ahhh.

Even though we had to come home in Sacramento rush hour traffic, it was worth it. We all had a good day. Before we left Emma kept saying, "We go see animals." And after we left it was, "Animals...we see the animals!" And she kept talking about all the animals we saw and making all their sounds...although we didn't see any elephants...that will have to wait for Topeka.
