Like Bas said earlier, we had a fun time at the zoo. Well...the first 1.5 hours was nice. Then the girls were fried/done/miserable. But it won't keep us away...we'll do it again this summer (sorry Bas!)
First stop - - watching the bears swim.
Looking to cute in the bird cage. She was so excited to be at the zoo. She really wanted to go find the giraffes.
That's Bas' hand feeding the giraffe. Emma didn't want to hold the lettuce so Bas held it & Emma put her hand under Bas'. They fed the giraffe together.
We wanted to take a picture of the girls next to the large gorilla. Just like we did with the elephant. But neither of them would go near it. So I knocked on it to show them it was fake. They would run up, knock & run away as fast as they could.
Eventually Emma warmed up to it. But this was the beginning of the end. As Emma was running back she fell & skinned up her knee pretty bad. She saw all the blood & freaked.
We ate lunch. Which seemed to help both girls attitudes. Then headed off to see the fishies. I think the girls could have staying in that spot all day. They loved all the different sizes & colors.
The faker wouldn't look at me. But this is how we left the zoo - hot, tired, a busted knee & 102 degree fever. Poor poor pitiful Emma. But the good thing is....if you ask Emma if she had fun she says yes.
An update: Originally Emma wouldn't let us put anything on her knee. The first day we had to hold her down to put neosporin & a band aid on. If the neighbors could have heard her screaming I'm sure they would have turned us in. It was terrible. This evening we were able to bandage her knee with no tears. Such a brave girl.
We aren't sure what brought on the fever. She has what looks like a spider bite on her arm. After some tylenol & cortizone cream both seem much better.
And after this weekend I think we should have bought stock in Johnson & Johnson with all our medicine use :)
