Nights in June at the Zoo

Chloe here. On Thursday night, Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa and I went to the zoo with the Reske's for Nights in June. Here is our outing from my perspective.


This is what I did for most of the trip. I got to relax in the stroller while we walked around the zoo.


Our first stop was the flamingos. The setting sun was really pretty and we got a family shot by the birds.


This guy wanted to stretch his wings.


Next (per Ethan and Lauren) we headed to the aviary. Daddy says this is where the birds live. Here is a tropical birdie that we saw. He did NOT poop on me. I was glad.


Then we went to the Primate House. Of course we had to see how big I was next to a baby monkey (shout out to Chuckles!). He was nice, so I put my arm around him.


Then we saw the big guy up close. I thought he looked a little sad.


I had lots of fun with Grandpa. Grammie Jo was visiting Auntie Megan in Chicago so I received his undivided attention. Just how I like it.


Daddy made me laugh by popping wheelies in the stroller.


Mommy showed me the elephants.


They poop even bigger than I do!


Daddy showed me the giraffes.


This one's a baby... just like me!


Next (after some root beer floats for the non-babies) we went to see the big cats. We saw lions ...


... and tigers ...


... and jaguars, oh my! Can you tell that Mommy had fun playing with the camera? All the animals were up and about. I think this was because we went at night and it wasn't so hot.


My favorite part was the cheetah. I SCREAMED at him, but he didn't hear me. Ethan and Lauren did, though.


Or maybe he did and wanted me for dinner. Yikes!


We didn't leave until almost 9 o'clock. I was sleepy, but was having fun and trying to stay awake. We had a great time and I can't wait to go back!
