Trip to the ZOO!

We went to the Zoo in Idaho Falls this morning and had a lot of fun! Layla wasn't too sure at first. Wondering what the heck we were looking at, but then she started figuring out that animals lived in the small areas full of bushes and such. She's licking her lips here... maybe she thought that slab of meat the lions were eating looked yummy? Yuck!

She LOVED the statues and was obsessed with this Lion. "Nose, Eyes, Mouth, Nose...." This was repeated for a long time.

Then she decided to ride it. Although, the minute she saw other kids charging for the Lion, she tried desperately to wave them away, shouting, "NO!!"

The Tiger looked like fun too. Notice her enthusiastic expression. She really DID love it. I know this, because she was screaming, " My tiger!! tiger!!" as we dragged her away from it. 


This is a really blurry shot, but I wasn't sure if you could use flash in the monkey cave. Layla was completely in love with this monkey. She stayed staring at it for about 5 mins. You can't see it very well in this picture, but it seemed equally enthralled with her. 

Tanner says the picture looks creepy because it looks like the monkey has a Layla Face staring back at her. 

All in all it was a fun trip! Layla took a great nap afterwards too. That's always icing on the cake!
