Zoo

Last year Shannon was only about 5 months old when we took her to the zoo and too small to really know what anything was. This year is much different. She is much more aware and can recognize animals, which until this point she has only seen in books.  She can also say some of the animals sounds when we ask her what a pig, dog, cat, cow, rooster, horse, frog, and duck says. She can also tell you that an alligator goes "snap". I taught her that after reading a story with an alligator in it. She remembered it and it's one of her favorites to say!

This time at the zoo she had Dippin' Dots ice cream for the first time. She was very leery to try it, but did after we finally convinced it was really ice cream!  The giraffes are also a favorite. Having gone to the zoo so many times, when we tell her we're going she says "gaffe"! How cute is that!
