Running Wild in Philly!

We had such a great time at Tampa's Lowry Zoo that we decided to head out to the Philadelphia Zoo the weekend after we got back from Florida. We were lucky that Kenzie, Aunt Amy, Zoe & Ella were able to join us because that made it even more fun! I think Lucy's favorite animal at the Philly Zoo was the Polar Bear, she loved watching one swim and the other relaxing. The girls all enjoyed brushing the goats and checking out the tractor in the children's zoo area. The zoo entails a lot of walking and all the girls were champs while we wandered about. We even visited the reptile house this time!

A WILD Adventure!

Today was a beautiful day - it was sunny outside and in the 70s - who could ask for more? We had a great day full of outdoor time. We spent the afternoon at the Philadelphia Zoo. This was Lucy's first trip to America's first zoo. As we expected, she loved it! We got to see polar bears swim, lions roar and zebra run. Lucy visited the petting zoo and loved watching the wandering peacocks.

Later in the day, Lucy watched with excitement as Daddy put her new slide from Poppa and Nana together. She had lots of fun sliding. She also helped out by watering the flowers on the patio for Daddy. Here are some shots from our great day.

I think this is the closest Lucy Girl will ever get to petting a hippo!

Lucy followed this guy around for quite some time...

This isn't a real cow, but it was still neat to see Lucy try to milk her!
