First Trip to the Zoo...

We had every intention to take Addison to Build a Bear on her birthday to start a tradition of us creating a stuffed animal as a family on her special day. BUT with us staying up late the night of her party, friends and family from out of town, clean up from the party, Jilly and Pops anniversary, and the Superbowl, we decided to just spend the day with family and relax. I took the Monday after Addi's birthday off, so our plan was to visit Build a Bear then...well you know how well-laid plans go, right? We made a split second decision and ended up taking Addison to the zoo!!!

I'm not surprised that she had an absolute blast! This little girl loves all animals :)

We got our wagon ready (and Elmo too) and headed to the zoo...


A lot of the animals were napping, but we did get to see a few playing and enjoying the pretty weather. The elephants did NOT disappoint...


We were able to get pretty close and Addi was mesmerized!

We also took a train ride, which was probably her favorite part of the day!


You are able to feed the giraffes at the Jacksonville Zoo, so we got super close to these pretty creatures...




The monkeys were all sleeping, so Addi and Daddy took a picture with the "gorilla" instead :)


Thanks D-ma for the Zoo Membership...I'm sure we'll be spending a lot of the Spring and Summer enjoying the animals :)

Zoo with the eyes of a kiddo is always fun :)

Oh what a fun day that looked like! She is such an outdoorsy baby girl so I KNOW the zoo is for sure going to be an every other week/day event! She is too precious with her Elmo and sunglasses! She's such a doll!

I love you sweet munchkin,
Aunt Lisha
