The Zoo

We have been wanting to take Julia to the Zoo all summer, but things kept getting in the way. So we finally took Friday off and took Julia to her very first Zoo trip. We went to the Cincinnati Zoo with Grammie and Grampie, and Aunt Ninnie (Jen) met us there.

Julia was not impressed. I think it started off bad because the first animal we saw was a giraffe, and it came inches from licking Julia. Of course, that scared her and just set the mood for the day. It all was just so overwhelming for her.

She did like seeing some of the animals, especially the big cats. But she was very stoic all day.

To her all the animals were grouped into two categories; "kitties" or "boofs" (woof, as in dogs). So the giraffes were "kitties" as were the big cats. The bears were "boofs". And so forth...


Here she was SCREAMING to get off of this statue! She wanting NOTHING to do with it!.


The Sea Lion was far enough away that it did not seem to scare her, so this is the ONLY picture I got of her with an animal in it!!



Chilling in the stroller with her "shades" on!


Looking at the "kitties" with Grandpa.

Walking with Aunt Ninnie

And relaxing on the tram ride through the park.

If you take another pic of my ass, I'll throw that camera in a lake.

Sorry Aunt Ninnie, but I just love that picture!! The way the two of you are holding hands and walking away....
I have a similar picture of Julia and Grampie walking on the beach.
