In the Jungle


Today we left Ansel home with our nanny and took Amita to the zoo.  We had an awesome time watching the animals and watching Amita watch the animals.  She really enjoyed the birds, the monkeys and the big cats.  The animals seemed to like the cold, snowy weather and they were all very active while we were there.  The monkeys were especially active... the spider monkeys were running and playing and a Rafiki monkey pounded on the glass and bared his teeth at us!!  After a few hours, Amita was exhausted and fell asleep on the car ride home (which never happens!).

Apparently, whether in the jungle or not, the lion sleeps tonight.

Amita really liked the cows in the dairy barn.

The penguins were a lot of fun for the three of us to watch.

But Amita really loved the open bird area where the birds were walking and flying around with us.  She got really close to a number of birds.

We spent a lot of time watching the birds fly and listening to them "talk" to each other.  Amita greeted each bird with a "Hi!"

Comparing Daddy's wingspan to birds.

Amita has some room to grow!

Riding the tractor in the dairy barn.  Amita loved to steer (and I think she enjoyed a little break from walking!).
