We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo...

Last weekend Denny, Lucy, Laura, Canon, Anna, and I went to the Columbus Zoo! We had a lot of fun. Lucy and Anna (Laura's niece who was in town from Chicago) loved all the animals and spending the day outside.

We started the day in the petting zoo...

Lucy just couldn't get enough of the "dogs."

We even got to watch a little girl brush their fur.


The "dogs" were so calm and gentle.


Even when Lucy tried to kick them...

No really, she kicked him over and over again.


While at the zoo we saw...
Big gray "dogs"


Orange and black "dogs"


Upside-down "dogs"


And big, hairy "dogs"


In all seriousness though, Lucy really did call EVERY SINGLE animal a "dog." It was so cute. From the little hedgehog to the huge elephant, it was a dogfess in Lucy's mind!

This past year the zoo opened a new Polar Bear Exhibit! You are able to get REALLY close to the polar bears...


Lucy wasn't sure what to think about those "dogs"


Laura and Canon are the best aunt and uncle ever! Anna was lucky to get to spend the day with them.


Anna is such a precious little baby. She will be turning 1 this month!


The "dads" pushed the strollers while we lead the way...


Occasionally, pausing to do some dance moves to entertain the girls...

(If I remember correctly, Laura did a stellar move at this point!) :)

Lucy recently learned to hold our finger. She likes to do it when we go for walks and even in the stroller...

...heart melting....

The girls ended the day going for a bike ride.....


Anna, we hope you will come back soon to visit! We had so much fun with you!

Laura and Canon, you are the best friends. We're lucky to get to hang out with such fun people!
