It's a fun thing to do, to go to the zoo...



Here are Sam and Amelia with a very "ferocious" cat. It was a favorite for sure. And yes, Sam wore Echo's cape all day today. Amelia followed him around saying "moon.moon" :)

Love these girls...

She stood and stared at this Lion for a very long time...

Sammy loved the fox.

Longing for a ride...

One of my favorite things about the zoo is hearing the way parents talk to children while they're there. We are all so excited to see our children see the animals that they look at in books and sign about and talk about. It is a place of awe, of delight, of total amazement to their little eyes. To see mamas and dads and grandmas and grandpas talking so excitedly to their babes as they point at the owls and foxes and birds and monkeys--it just makes me happy. To see Sam walk up and down the width up the cage with the fox and Amelia meow at all of the cat type animals--that just makes me teary:)

Here's to Fall family fun, Jen
