One Friday in April Wes and I decided to go and play at the zoo with Violet. I had already gotten my hours in for the week early that morning and Wes decided he was done with work too. Lydia and Adelle were at school so it was just the three of us.
Violet loves seeing the animals and chatters on and on about them.
The monkeys are always fun to see jumping about.
Violet loved this little rescued owl. He was so small.
There is one thing she is absolutely terrified of though. The elephant statue. Wes tried to take her over to the big guy, but she didn't want to see him. She loves to talk about him when we are at home, but at the zoo she cries if we get too close.
The small animal house is always a favorite, especially the central room with the trickling waterfall, birds, lizards and even chickens.
We couldn't pass up the big cats. Violet loved seeing the sleepy tiger and his BIG paws.
We packed a lunch for each of us. Wes still was hungry though and bought some zoo food. It wasn't as good as he'd hoped. Violet had to try some too.
We checked out the giraffes. Violet wanted to see too and Wes put his little girl on his shoulders.
We met a really nice zookeeper feeding the rams. I enjoyed hearing about her life and her passion to work with animals.
We explored more in the Discovery area. Wes tried to snap the perfect picture, but all he got was a girl with her eyes closed.
Violet wouldn't let us pass up the playground. She even loved the old elephant slide!
We made one last stop and Violet checked out the Discovery caves, but then it was time to head home for her nap. It was fun to have time alone with our littlest one.

One of few perks for the youngest child, some precious alone time with mom and dad on a day all about her. How fun! ...j
