Day 2 : Fun at the Zoo

Today was Lauren's first day at the zoo. I figured that we would buy a yearly membership since she has become so much more aware of her surroundings, and it will save us money when we are bored and just want something to do. I had not been to the zoo in about a year and I was really excited about the new African Forest exhibit that just opened.


When we walked in Lauren was really very excited. She got a huge grin on her face and was cooing up a storm. We went to see the giraffes first (there were only 3 animal habitats in the new exhibit), which was cool because you can get really close to them. We spent awhile there and she just stared away. 


After seeing a few more animals we wandered off to a little secluded area near the entrance and the guy manning the entrance gate said that it was okay if we wanted to hang out there for "a little love time", as he put it. I didn't really know what he meant by that since we had a baby, and it really wasn't secluded enough for anyone to have "love time" there without a bunch of people watching.


Well after talking to the man we found a pretty little spot with good lighting and JJ practiced shooting with his "almost new" Canon DSLR. He got a few good shots, but he still needs a little practice. Here and some of Lauren and I on the bridge.
