Phildelphia Zoo

Our Trip to the Philadelphia Zoo - Friday the 13th

Our trip didn't start off great....the weather wasn't 60 as forecasted, but rather foggy and 50. And Emily was starting to get sick (as you can see by her booger breakdown)

Things got better when we got to the children's zoo area. She enjoyed meeting and petting this very friendly goat. I think Daddy was more afraid of it than Emily.

Emily was taking a break, eating a ritz cracker when a peacock came walking by... This was a split second before the peacock snatched Emily's cracker from her hand and swallowed it whole!!! We had never seen a peacock quite so close before.... Unlike most kids who would scream that a strange bird had just taken their cracker... Emily (and mommy) just said.."All done." For Emily flipping her hands and making that gester with the word done (doooh) means she is either done eating or she has eaten everything there is to eat. Overall, we had a great trip to the zoo. Emily ate chicken fingers from the zoo (first time I think) and for the first time she actually noticed the animals and had fun looking at them and seeing the things they do. She slept the entire way down and most of the way back. Despite the weather-forecasting flop, we had a LOT of fun. Emily decided to walk around most of the zoo holding both of our hands. Still not walking though, but she will get there soon enough.
