The Baltimore Zoo

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Baltimore zoo with Laneah's preschool class. We hadn't been there before because it is an expensive zoo and the DC zoo is free so we usually go there. Laneah couldn't wait to go. It was HOT though, almost 90 degrees. The good news was that Jason was able to take off most of the day so he could come with us to the zoo. 

 The class getting geared up to go inside. 

 First we saw the polar bear. The kids were running all over the place. They were all so excited. 

 They had these cute white foxes. Laneah said to me "where's swiper?" (from Dora, lol)

 Cute little Brooklyn was determined not to miss a thing. 

 The great thing about this zoo was how close you could get to the animals. Plus it wasn't crowded at all so the kids got good views of everything. 

 When we passed the cheetah again it was taking a nap right at the window!

 Brooklyn had to give the "kitty" kisses.

 Then came my favorite part when the girls got to feed the giraffe. 

 Laneah laughed and laughed when the giraffe ate from her hand. She thought it was the coolest. Brooklyn liked it too, but just dropped her food in the pin. 

 Laneah buddied up with her friend Scarlette most of the day. They held hands a lot and it was really sweet. 

 They had lots of interactive play areas for the kids. 

 Woolly Mammoth bones in a little cave they had for the kids to explore. 

 This was a slide made from a giant tree. We lost about 30 minutes here:)

 The girls only got to brush the goats for a few minutes because it was time to go. Brooklyn insisted on brushing every single goat for a few seconds. 

 "Yee Haw!"

 We didn't get to ride the train, but we rode the tram back to the entrance and the girls didn't know the difference. 

 Brooklyn promptly fell asleep in the car, which she NEVER does. She was worn out.

It was a hot day, but it was fun.
