Mom & Me @ the Zoo

This year for Mother's Day, my mom treated Nakiah and I to Mom & Me @ the Zoo for the second year in a row. This year GG, Auntie Fave and Kelsey joined us on our Mother's Day Adventure.
Nakiah and I getting ready to start our day! The rest of the gang...waiting for Auntie Fave
A very close encounter with our first taste of wildlife....mommy isn't a big fan of birds and after this encounter, most of the people standing around admiring the pretty peacock witnessed that :-)
Checking out the hippos, Nakiah kept saying "wow" and asking for more
Pit stop for a portrait on a hippo, without the hippo's head
Mr. Long Neck
Nakiah loved watching him walk around, she didn't want to leave him
Her favorite part of the whole day.....
the wild ducks wandering through the park looking for crumbs
We let Nakiah feed the birds part of a soft pretzel and she LOVED watching them peck at the ground to pick up their breakfast
A ride on the King of the Jungle with Auma
Kelsey & Nakiah
Nakiah, Kelsey, Baby (in the belly) & Me

When Nakiah saw these guys, she kept motioning to them to "come here"
Watching the bears
Kisses for the otter
A HUGE eagle nest
Three generations
GG & Auntie Fave
Not really wanting to get back in the stroller! Oh, but please don't hesitate to carry her at all times.....
Inside the bird room...again, mommy does NOT like birds, of any kind!!!
Even though the point of this place is to have the bird land on your stick of food, I was fine with a birdless stick
Auma had to help Nakiah feed the birds
Cave exploration
Mountain climbing with Kelsey
Play time break
Nakiah had her first taste of dipping dots, which she LOVED, even though she isn't a big ice cream eater
She said "oh no!" when she realized they were all gone
Last stop was the petting zoo
She didn't like to pet the animals if they looked at her
She was all about the other kids though!
Resting up for the hike back to the car
Mother's Day 2009
We ended the day with some peek-a-boo in a box...
...and digging in the dirt!

Another FANTASTIC Mother's Day!!!
