Staycation Summer, ZOO Adventure
Since Mike is taking classes this summer we are taking a couple of local trips. (Staycations)Yesterday we visited the zoo. It was a fun day filled with lots of memories.
We road on the Zoo train, Lilly was so excited and waved to everyone.
We decided not to worry about a stroller for Lilly, last year it was kind of a hassel taking her in and out of it, so Mike offered to carry Lilly when she needed little rests. Most of the day Lilly walked she is such a high energy kid, she keeps us going :)
By the end of the day Lilly wanted Mommy to carry her. She is a Mommy's girl when she's tired, but when she wants to play she is deffiantly a Daddy's girl. 
We took lots of fun breaks throughout the day, we had hotdogs at lunch time and then a few hours later decided it was time for an ice cream break! I don't think Lilly has ever had an ice cream cone this big, she LOVED IT! Mike shared a few licks, but Lilly ate most of it.
Of course we have to get the photo of Lilly drinking out of the lions mouth fountian. I'm generally not a fan of drinking fountians, but I had to let Lilly use this one :) She thought it was pretty awesome to drink "Lion Spit" :)
Lilly got to ride on her first carosel ride! While we waited in line she decided that she wanted to ride on the elephant, so as soon as it was our turn to climb on I ran to the elephant to make sure she got it. She loved it and I really enjoyed myself too. I love seeing Lilly happy and experiancing new things.

I love seeing Lilly happy and experiancing new things.I asked Lilly a few times what her favorite thing about the zoo was and everytime she answers with something different:
1. Pink birds
2. Ice Cream
3. The Zebras
4. Kettle Corn
5. Going to Cabella's on our way home
6. The snakes (this I don't understand, she is really scared of the crocidiles, but would try and touch the snakes) She likes snakes :)
My favorite part was I got to spend the day with the two people I love most in this world. They are both such fun and bring so much joy to my life. Love you guys!

What an awesome day. I would love to go to the zoo, but hubby thinks we would look weird since we don't have any children. My family used to go every year when I was growing up and I miss that.
