the Alexandria Zoo

Gregg and I took Gracie and Anna to the zoo today.  Gracie loved all the animals.  When we would stop by the enclosures she would say that the animals were trying to get out.  When Gregg told the Macaws "Hello Birds!" they surprised us by responding with a clear as day "Hi!"  Some animals were a lot larger in person than they look on TV or in books.  The pelican for example is about 10 ties larger than I had imagined.  

Gracie loves the monkeys and anything that swims.  She told Gregg that she wanted to hold

 the crocodile's hand.  Unfortunately the fish food dispensers were broken so we couldn't feed the fish. She really enjoyed that last time we went to the zoo.

I love being able to take Gracie to the zoo; she enjoys animals so much!  I can't wait until Anna knows what is going on and gets as excited as Gracie.  

Anna slept most of the trip.  I took a picture of her when she was awake.  Most of the pictures are of Gracie's back; she wasn't interested in taking pictures today.  The animals were more interesting than posing for the camera.

These pictures are in reverse order.  Again, I'm still figuring this out.
