Zoo Day!

The Birmingham Zoo celebrated Earth Day by giving free admission and carousel rides for everyone! As you can imagine, we braved quite a crowd to attend, but Hallie had a fabulous time! She seemed impressed by the big gorilla, but her very favorite exhibit was the giraffe one. She is waving to (and pointing at) the giraffes in the third picture. The zoo staff moved a macaw from one spot to another while we were there, and they walked right by us with the bird. Hallie liked him so much that she laughed out loud.

We also rode the carousel--she wasn't entirely sure about it until she realized that we would see Daddy every time we went around the circle. So, she waved and giggled at him every time we saw him, and all was ok.
