Trip to the Zoo, May 2007

I cant lift my head any higher, because my child is sitting on my hair! :) grr

Playing in the bamboo forest

My! thats a big 'ol monkey coming toward me!!!!!

the funniest giraffe she's ever seen. the giraffe, coincidentally, is Amelia's very favorite animal

Amelia sometimes forgets that she no longer has to arch and raise her eyebrows to see where she's going. For which we get alot of the following comment ---particularly from ladies of a certain generation---

" My! but arent YOU bright eyed!!!!"

......and she is!







see what I mean??? she looks very, very, very, very excited to be at the zoo, huh?

" Bye, Bye Birdie," ----she's saying

"Gee, the ride at wal-mart does alot more than this....."

We had a great time at the zoo, although we're already feeling the heat here in georgia.

As we walked from a shady path into the blaring sun, Amelia screeched "HOT!!!!"

See there? she doesnt miss a thing; just like mommy ;)))
