to the zoo

On the way home from daycare Friday afternoon, Britton told me she wanted to see some zebras and rhinos.  I don't know where the request came from, but I figured it was high time to get out of the hotel room and into our new surroundings.  So we rounded up the family and made our way to the Pittsburgh Zoo this morning!




The elephants - a family favorite.  Britton loved watching the baby elephant throw sawdust all over itself, but freaked out when she thought the elephant was running towards her.  


A sweet treat.  It was a balmy low 90s day today, and everyone around here keeps referring to it as "oppressive heat."  The high tomorrow is in the low 70s.  This isn't summer - it's a Texas winter.


The zoo had a great aquarium too.  Britton was fascinated by the seahorses.


At this point, Britton just planted herself next to anything she thought I would make her stand next to for a photo op!  



The zoo's newest baby is an orphaned otter, and these two otters swam around their enclosure to our delight.  


Last stop - the carousel.  A friend and foe, as leaving the carousel was Britton's breaking point.  She was hot, tired, and cranky and we got back to the car as quickly as possible.  Up until then, it was a great time!
