Hogle Zoo

ryan and i both had the day off, and decided to take elizabeth on a fun little outing to the zoo to see their new arrivals!! elizabeth was so excited to see the baby elephant and baby giraffe. they were so adorable, i wanted to hide them in my purse and take them home with me :)
we had such a good time together. it was so fun watching elizabeth's reaction to all the animals! she is a brave little girl. we were leaving the reptile center, and two young men were bringing a couple snakes back, and they let us touch them. elizabeth went right up to the snakes to pet them.
at the end of the day, we took her to the gift shop and let her pick out a toy. although monkey's have always been her favorite, she became very fond of the baby elephant and picked out a stuffed baby elephant...whom she named horton :)
