A Day at the Zoo

... more like a few short hours at the zoo, but nonetheless...
Sunday afternoon was so beautiful that we decided to make the first use of our annual zoo membership at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. I think that anyone we've ever known who's ever been to the Baltimore Zoo has had their picture taken on this lion statue.... everyone that is, except for Mackinzie - who refused to sit on the famous photo-spot. Instead she opted to have mommy hold her and stand next to it.
She did really like the little monkey statues though and relished the chance to have her picture taken hugging it.
It might be a little hard to see in the photo, but we were able to get right up close to the crocodile. A little too close for Kinzie.
The rhino in the background had just finished taking a tremendous pee before we took this picture. Its amazing, the things you can see at the zoo!
Mommy joined Mackinzie for another picture at the Monkey statue.
This was probably our favorite photo from the day. We were able to get really close to this giraffe - almost close enough to touch. Kinzie and I turned around to get our picture taken and this guy popped his head over Kinzie's shoulder to get in the shot too!
All in all, our short zoo visit was very cool. If my memory suits me well, the zoo isn't nearly as great as it was when I was a kid, but its still worth a visit now and then and I'm sure we'll be taking full advantage of our annual membership this year. Kinzie and Laura are already going back on Saturday with some of Kinzie's friends!
