First Time Zoo Goer

It was Madelyn's first time at the Zoo.

The animals were great...

...but the excitement of the day was found at the water feature near the entrance of the Zoo.

She was pretty excited about this ball with water flowing over it.


Madelyn put as much of her body into the water as she could,

which resulted in an outfit change.

We went with the Loveless cousins (the ones in town). I love spending time with these little kiddos.


Love the cotton candy face. Classic.
Do you remember this lion? It was definitely my favorite part of coming to the Zoo when I was little.
So cool, you get to drink out of the lions mouth.


We rode the merry-go-round...

...the train, and played at the playground.

We were sad that Daddy couldn't come. Hopefully next time.

It was a full day and we can't wait to go back.
