Back in June we spent a fun day at the zoo with Grandma, Kaeli and Cole. We had to include this picture of Cole--he had just had major knee surgery and was so excited to get out of the house! He loved driving around his very own motorized vehicle!
Look at these excited girls--they sure love their animals!
First stop: The Elephants...Jade does a great impression of an elephant. If you have not asked her what an elephant says, you should--it will be the highlight of your day to hear it! Also funny story when we were standing by the elephants, we all hear this big noise like a waterfall and Jade gets so excited and starts shouting, "la-ler, la-ler (her word for water)!" Then she turns around and sees that the "la-ler" is coming from the elephant. "He's peeing mama, he's peeing, yeah!" She was so excited!!! You can tell what we have been working on at our house!
Wow, Jade weighs as much as 2 elephants poop in a month! I wonder how they measured that one!
Yee-haw, ride that rhino Kiera!
The 2 cutest birds at the zoo!
Kiera loved finding the seals swimming in the water.
Jade was enthralled watching the river otters swim and play.
She also loved talking to the seals!
Kiera saw these big grizzly bears and started her infamous growling noises. Hence the reason her nickname is Kiera Bear.
She loved this polar bear and would not stop hugging and kissing it!
A train ride through the zoo...both girls had to sit with their Aunt Kae!
We got super close to the giraffes...the girls loved it. Jade had been talking to all of the other animals and making their sounds so I thought I would be clever and told her to talk to the giraffes. I thought she would make some cute sound that she thought giraffes would make, but no...she leans through the fence and says "Hi Giraffe."
We also got to go back to the zoo with my work the next week. We had more fun and got to see some animals we did not get to before. My favorite was the new polar bear exhibit. We got to see it swimming and doing its morning exercises.
Jade is almost as tall as a grizzly bear and growls like one too!
This little bear is way too tired, but still cuddling with that bear.
We heard some monkeys making noises all around us so Jade had to make this "monkey face" to show me. Kiera kept pointing to all the animals and saying "ooh, ohh, ahh, ahh!"
Enjoying a climb on a giant spider at the kids playground. I was super surprised that Jade climbed all over this thing because at home when she sees a spider she yells for me to kill it.
Kiera spent all of her time in the playground climbing on this giant caterpillar.
We went to see a show and Jade volunteered to touch a snake. She actually wanted to touch it, with no prompting whatsoever from me!
And last but not least, Kiera loved climbing all over the tiger statues. She even growled like a tiger when we saw it in its enclosure. She is one smart girl!
