Zoo Outing

We met some friends at the zoo this afternoon. Our starting time was to be right around Lilly's nap, so I strapped her in the car seat, got our things together and drove around for 10 minutes beforehand, hoping that she would go to sleep in the seat and then could be transferred easily to the stroller.

Mission accomplished.

The doodlebug fell asleep, and stayed that way for the next 40 minutes. Thus, the beginning photos of her are asleep in her stroller while the animals (elephants, white tiger, lion, and leopard) appear in the background.

When she awoke she wanted to get out of the stroller so I put her in the Baby Bjorn and we strolled some more. She really wasn't interested in the animals, more into her surroundings and clutching onto my pointer fingers. The only animal she seemed to give more than five seconds of her time were the giraffes.

We were at the zoo for almost two hours. And she certainly became overtired. Luckily our trip home was less than a mile and a half, and we were in the car. But unfortunately there was a back up on Magazine Street, so it took us a little bit than longer to get home. Doodlebug was crying and screaming all the way home. She was MUCH better as soon as we got back, she ate a little and then talked to JJ before taking a much needed nap.
