We went to the Zoo

Last Friday was a beautiful day, so we packed ourselves a lunch and headed over to the Kansas City Zoo for the first time.
I think Jessalyn is going to have the same phobia as me and her grammy. Being scared of really big things. When I took her out of the stroller and started walking towards this polar bear she turned her head away and made her little scared noise. I wasn't going to get any closer anyway because that giant polar bear scared me just as much.

We got to see some beautiful and not so beautiful animals. And to Jessalyn, everything was a "Puppy".
She had a great time just strolling along. Of course that took us hours to get from one place to another. But she was really enjoying herself.

She really liked the elephant from far away. I'm sure if it was up close she wouldn't feel quite the same.
This was her still watching the elephant when we were ready to leave and about to walk away.
Then it was lunch time. This girl love chips! Especially since we never gave them to her until recently because we are always afraid of her choking on them. She is really good about eating them. She takes tiny little bites and smiles the whole time.

Growing up I was so used to the tiny little zoo we had in Tucson. This zoo was ginormous! We definitely got a work out with all the walking we did. We even walked all the way to Kenya! haha.
And Jessalyn made her way to Botswana. Those tiny little legs must have been exhausted! lol.
The zoo was so beautiful. I loved all the scenery. It's nothing like what I was used to. We really felt like we were in Africa.
We had one tired little baby by the end of it. We will definitely return to the zoo sometime soon.
