Day at the Zoo

Claire's school was closed for Columbus Day, so we were able to spend the day together and decided to go to the zoo. Penelope was able to join us, and not only did she make it more fun, but she was a big help in wrangling the toddler. :)

We had so much fun checking out the animals. Claire got really excited about the toads and snakes - I think a lot of it had to do with being able to stand on a little ledge and really peer at them.

She also got really excited about all of the ducks, and told us all about them.

Penelope posted more pictures on her blog here. I'm glad we were able to squeeze in a zoo trip before little brother arrives - just 3 more weeks until he is here!
