Our Visit to the Zoo

Today we went to the Toledo Zoo with our cousins. This year Muffin seemed to really get into the event and enjoy herself looking at all of the animals, and some rocks and leaves too. She took a special interest in the aquarium, the primates, the polar bear and the elephants. We even road the carousel and the safari train. Both of which she really liked.

This is some lizard. The muffin wasn't allowed to touch any of the lizards or crocs because she was too young and her immune system wasn't sufficient enough. Guess I shouldn't let her pick up the frogs either then!!

There were a ton of statues along the way. In this photo Muffin is IN the arms of a bear!

I don't think she was ready to get off!

This is the dominant Silver Back Gorilla. At one point he chased another gorilla away, and then came charging at the window pounding his chest! It was AWESOME!!

Some of the apes just laid around and relaxed. This one had his feet crossed up on the glass!

On the Safari Train where we saw Zebra and Giraffes!

The polar bears were pretty cool! Here she is about 3 feet in front of a model one. She ran up to it, and then came to a screeching halt and turned to look at us. Guess she realized how big it really was once she got up close!!

She took a real interest in all of the exhibits and got up real close to the window.

The Muffin with her cousins T & J on a statue along the way. Get a shot with all three of them looking and smiling was impossible!

There was a small goat petting area. The muffin is fearless and runs right up to everything she can! Maybe she thought they were dogs. And they're half the size of Kaida... Why would she be scared! LOL!

She got a real kick out of this huge aquarium. I know she loves looking at the fish at Grandma's house, so I got her up real close. She thought they were great till this odd looking thing darted right up to her. Then she freaked a little!

The aquarium was pretty cool. She really liked the sea horses a lot too. I couldn't get a good shot of those. All in all I think she had a great time at the zoo with her cousins. I look forward to being able to take her back soon.
