We went to visit my family for our spring break. It was cold, but we decided that we needed to do something more than sit around. Austin and I had a date night. We also took Rachel to IKEA. And I really wanted to go to Hogle Zoo, so we bundled up and went. I was so impressed with the new elephant exhibit. Rachel probably loved the elephants, giraffes and peacocks the best.
The giraffe was a really messy eater. Rachel seemed to be so concerned that he was spilling his water. It was cute. She just kept looking worried and saying "Uh-oh, water!"
We were glad we went to the zoo in spite of the chilly weather. By the time we had been there for an hour, it warmed up a bit, and the zoo was not very busy, so we got lots of good looks at the animals. I worried that none of the animals would be out, but we got to see them all!
Of course, we had to get some pictures on the cute little discovery toys. Rachel had no idea what a slug was (I think that's a slug in the above picture), but she sure seemed excited about riding on one.

Looks like fun! I actually heard that it's better to go to the zoo when it's colder cause the animals are more active so you picked a good time to go. Glad you guys had a fun and safe trip!
I'm glad you had a good time. sorry that the weather wasn't warmer. Cute pictures of Rachel! It looked like she really loved the zoo.
