What a ZOO!

The day after we arrived home from Georgia was Gibson's Pre-K graduation trip to the Philadelphia Zoo! Daddy said he wanted to go under the wire so the three of us (Delaney was at a friend's house) hopped on a bus crammed with five year olds (and lots of Excederin in my purse!) and headed to the Zoo! When we go there, we found out it was really kind of laid back and that we could go around as a family and not have to stay in a group.

We couldn't help cracking up at this statue at the front of the Big Cat area- we named it "Pumba, during dinner" The big cat area was one of our favorites, but unfortunately some of the exhibits were closed for cleaning. We found out later that the day AFTER our trip was the tiger cub triplet's first birthday- so I guess they were preparing for that!

Our absolute favorite is always the Giant otters- they are so fun and fancy free, just swimming and flipping and having fun. My stupid camera can be so SLOW to take pictures so we missed some of the cute ones!

I love my pic of the Rhino, and the shot in the middle, we refered to as "Pumba before dinner" and this sweet little one is a pygmy marmoset- they are so cute!!! We were all exhausted when we got home and all had naps, but we sure had fun!

We got a surprise when we got home too- The Ocean Futures Society, run by Jean Michele Cousteau answered Gibson's fan letter and sent us alot of fun swag! I also forgot to mention that while we were away, I had Gibson's room painted and we are about to make it look underwater, and we will be applying the swag in our design!
