A Day at the Zoo!

Last week Mitch and I were fortunate enough to be invited to the Philadelphia Zoo by our dear friends the Brueggemeiers. Mitch and Shawn work together at BMS. They came to dinner and met Leah when she was about 5 weeks old, and while they were expecting their own baby. When Amanda had Matt in August we went and saw them in the hospital. Amanda and I then found a Baby and Me class that we went to together for about 2 months. We have become great friends, and we just know that Matt and Leah are best buddies. Anyway, they have a season pass to the zoo which allows them to bring in guest for free...WOO HOO!!! I think we are going to look into Aquarium passes so we can return the favor. But anyway, we went on Sunday the 14th...It was the first nice sunny day we had had in awhile. I wasn't sure if Leah would like it or not being so young, but she LOVED it. She was quick to pick out all the animals. She would point to them and make all sorts of noises in her excitement. Matt did too!!! How did our kids get to be so smart??? The kids were both great, a couple of real troopers. Neither one fussed and they just watched the animals in awe. Amanda says that in the picture above we are saying the same thing...something along the lines of "OOOoooOOOooo, look at the Camel." Can't wait until next time.

The Flamingos were toward the end, Leah was
getting tired. But she still enjoyed watching them.

If you look carefully in the background you can see a Tiger.
There was also one up close to the glass that Leah had her eye on.
