visitng the zoo in the fall.

Mama and Pop have a zoo pass (thanks Aunt Patty!), so one Saturday in October, Mama and I decided to take Clara to the zoo.  She just loves animals.  She can name most animals in the books we read.  And each visit to the zoo bring a new appreciation for an animal that she didn't pay much attention to before!

 

She still loved the giraffes!

 But who wouldn't?

 She loves the lions, and they were in a super playful mood that morning.  There was even a little fall, animal behavior going on in the lion pen.  It made this trip interesting, to say the least!

 Clara girl in her fall duds.  Nothing says fall like a little dress, leggings, and boots!

 She loves the penguins!

 A cute shot of Mama and Clara!

 She was pretty brave on the giraffe slide this time! 

Cute little Clara!  This zoo visit made Clara realize that she likes zebras and wart hogs (pigs).  But I think her favorite animal is still the giraffe.  And her favorite animal to listen to is the monkeys! 

She talks about the zoo often, and always mentions Mama and Pop, because they have taken her to the zoo a few times now.  I'd say that at 20 months old, it is one of her favorite places!  Oh yeah, did you hear me say 20 months old?  Crazy!  They say time flies, and they're right.  I'll be working on a 20 month update soon.  My goal was an 18 month update, but "back to school" happened!  I just can't wait to share all of Clara's latest developments!  Her language explosion has been INSANE to witness!

Thanks again Mama for the fun zoo trip!
