Our Labor Day

Caitlin and I had so much fun on Labor Day. We went to the zoo with Mom and Natalie. We were there right at 9am to try to beat the heat. It was still HOT, but we had so much fun. All the animals were closer than they have been when I've been there in the past. We saw all the animals we wanted.

The beautiful Macaws.



The ugly wild hog.


Caitlin's favorite - the Elephants!




Loved the giraffes! They were really close.






Caitlin loved the carousel!!





Meerkats



Caitlin got to pet the turtle and thought that was cool!



Red panda




Alligators. These really freaked Caitlin out. At one point, she ran away screaming with arms flailing because she thought they were going to eat her. For some reason, she thought if they came up out of the water, they could get to her.





I let her pick out a stuffed animal at the gift shop and she picked a white tiger. So she loved seeing the real thing. She couldn't understand why the real tiger didn't want to come over and see her little tiger.
