Yeah for the zoo!!!

Alex and I took Libby to her first visit at the zoo. She seemed to enjoy it. She saw the butterflies first. I was surprised that she actually could see them. Her favorite this was the dolphins. I have never seen her be so excited about anything that was not food. She was dancing and pointing. Alex and I really had a fun time watching her. She did end up falling asleep just in time for her first train ride and missed the rest of the zoo. But that was OK because then we had to bring Daddy back a few days later. Libby was not as excited about the dolphins this time but she got to ride the carousel for the first time. We had a great day, but we were tired by the end. Alex had a ton of fun as well. It had been a few years since we have been and I think that she forgot how much fun it could be. She has created a zoo in her room, complete with a map and a grand opening.
