Zoo Time!!!



Somehow Ella still had energy to swim after the zoo, so daddy took her swimming at our hotel.  One of Ella's favorite activities is swimming with her daddy! 
We must have caught the tigers during nap time, every single one of them was sleeping!  Ella would point at them and say "nap" as we went by their cages.  However when we went inside to see the large male lion, he was very much awake and roaring!  The lion sound was the first animal sound that Ella learned many months ago!
Grammie and Ella watching the penguins (Grammie's favorite). We were lucky and got there just in time to see the staff feed the penguins! Since we have been back home, when we ask Ella what a penguin says, she replies "waddle waddle waddle" and then will waddle around the house!

Ella and daddy making fish faces in the aquarium!
Ella kept trying to kiss the fish through the glass!
Ella pointing to the mommy gorilla.  It's hard to see in the picture, but she had a little baby gorilla in her lap, so cute!
Checking out the elephants!
Inside the rainforest watching the monkeys.  This was our first stop at the zoo, Ella was in awe! 

We enjoyed a mini getaway a few weeks ago, by spending the weekend in Omaha and enjoying the perfect weather!  We met Grammie there and stayed at a hotel Friday and Saturday night.  On Saturday we spent over 6 hours at the Henry Doorly Zoo, Ella soaked up every second of it!  She loves animals and loves to make all of their sounds!  Since we have been back home, she has been reading her animal books even more.
