Zoo
Today, I decided that it was a gorgeous day outside, and it would be a good day to introduce Ally to the zoo. I got there and was confused. The road was blocked off, and people were parking in a grass field nearby. There were concession stands set up outside and people everywhere. I just happened to go on Dr. Doolittle Day. This didn't really mean a lot for Ally, since she's so young. It did mean that I didn't have to pay to get it though. They had face painting and turtle races and fun stuff like that for older kids.

Ally had a really good time. She stared and pointed at the emu and all the birds that were flying around in the trees. Then we walked around and saw the monkeys. She tried to chase after a couple geese with 5-6 goslings. She got a little too close and they started hissing at her, so we had to step back and leave them alone for a while. She didn't really care about most of the animals like the bears and foxes and alligators. Mostly she liked the noes she recognized. She giggled at the chickens and ducks. Loved the horses. She waled right up to one and yelled at him. I got her to pet them and she squealed and neighed. We pet the goats, and fed them a little. I put a piece of the food on Ally's hand and she held it out for them to eat. We even got int the goat fence and ran around for a little while. Then she spent the next couple minutes throwing a fit because we couldn't play in the water washing our hands forever. Volunteers were walking around with snakes to show off. Ally pet every one of them once. The only thing that scared her were the peacocks. When they yelled, she got wide-eyed. the second time, she screamed and burrowed into my shoulder. We had to steer clear of them. Otherwise, she had a great time.
