Brenna's first trip to the zoo

With Dad at the Gorilla Exhibit

Thinking about taking a nap

We took Brenna to the zoo for the first time this afternoon. It was her first time strolling in the front facing stroller. We usually use our Snap N Go, but that is rear facing and not great for seeing things at the zoo. I knew it was too warm to keep her happy being worn in the Moby, so the big girl stroller was the wheels for the day. Ken and I had so much fun with it.

Brenna did great. She was awake right after we arrived and she seemed overwhelmed a bit with all of the new sights. She decided to nap a bit during the elephant and giraffe exhibits, but was wide awake to see the birds on the Jungle trail and in the Manatee house. She definitely noticed the fish in the big tank at the manatee exhibit. We lingered there for quite some time because we thoroughly enjoyed watching her follow the fish with her eyes. She decided to chat up to fish for a bit, and it made us laugh. Her confused expression when she laid eyes on the giant manatees was priceless. She just kept watching them with a "what the heck is that" expression on her face. We also found a turtle in a smaller tank that she took to for a few minutes. I am thinking that a trip to the Newport aquarium is in order. Maybe next month...
