Charity's First Day at the Zoo


We got to see a lot of really cool things at the zoo. As soon as we got there we made our way to the first "Meet the Keepers". We learned about Chacoan Peccaries which Charity loved. She clapped and called at them and giggled every time they grunted or ate the yams their keeper was feeding them.

Next we checked out the bears, cougars, and zebras. She laughed at the silly bears. Then we saw the penguins and a Red Panda sleeping in a tree. She kept calling the Red Panda saying "Zizzie.... Zizzie..."

We also went the "Meet the Keepers" for the Pelicans and, later, the tigers. Charity loved seeing these animals get fed and talked to by their trainers and Camille and I loved learning about these animals.

Her favorite animal had to be the Giraffes. She was so amazed at how tall they were. She just sat there and stared at them for quite some time. Then we took her upstairs to see them from above and she was glued to the fencing just clapping and chattering excitedly.

We really loved getting to take her to the zoo and will probably take her back another couple of times this year. We hope you enjoy the pics of her visit.
