Quick Trip to the Zoo

The weather on Saturday was beautiful, so we made a quick trip to the zoo between our morning of lounging around in our pajamas and an evening of princess partying.  We took the jogging stroller so I could get some exercise, and so we could make quick work of all of our favorite exhibits.  First stop was our favorite: the giraffes!
After a trip to the far north side of the zoo to see the penguins and crocodiles (both recent additions to the must see list), we went by the fountain to see the giant dinosaur.  Last year it was BUGS! and this year it is DINOSAURS ALIVE!  We didn't have time for the special dinosaur exhibit, but Will was very impressed by this one that moved and roared.  I was shocked he wasn't afraid.  Lots of kids walking by were afraid. . . .

Near the end of our trip, we got the urgent request for a stuffed seal for the birthday girl, so we headed over to the gift shop outside the dolphin arena.  We checked out the dolphins from the underwater viewing area before completing our shopping and racing home in time to get showered and changed for our Princess Sofia Party.
