Friday was Andy's birthday. What better way for a 38-year old to spend his birthday than by going to the zoo? (Especially when Morgan really wanted to go, too.)
Our first stop was familiar territory for Morgan... the hippos.
Next up, it was the rhinoceros, who was too busy napping to say hi. Morgan said "Rhino sleepy. Rhino tired."
A new exhibit at the zoo this year are life-sized animals made entirely of Lego blocks. (Animals and Legos -- two of Morgan's favorite things.)
Here are the Lego penguins...
And here, Morgan and Mom get up close to the real penguins.
Here's the Lego polar bear...
And here, Morgan checks out a real bear.
Morgan was very excited to see the giraffes. "Too tall," she said.
In the petting zoo section, Morgan spotted this frog statue. "I need to ride frog," she declared.
Be careful when disguising yourself as a giant carrot, Morgan. There are lots of hungry animals roaming around.
Morgan loved the otter exhibit (even though she thought they were seals at first). Morgan's expert animal analysis of the otters: "Otters go splash in water!"
Morgan was also really excited to the monkeys and gorillas.
She saw big ones...
Little ones...
Lego ones...
And big ones that she insisted were "teenie"... well, as teenie as a 200+ lb gorilla can be, I guess.
"Mommy -- that gorilla is teenie"
In the "big cat" exhibit, Morgan saw a mommy and daddy lion, and a tiger.
"Tiger go swim in water", proclaimed Morgan.
In four hours, Morgan saw every animal from A to Z... in fact, a visit to the zebras was our final pitstop of the day.
It was a lot to take-in for a soon-to-be 2-year old (not to mention a newly minted 38-year old). Before we reached the highway, Morgan was zonked out in the back seat.
