Zoo

We went to the Gulf Breeze Zoo on Friday because the weather was beautiful, Joe had the day off work and Jessica loves animals.  Allison seemed to enjoy the zoo just as much, if not more than Jessica.  We didn't hear a peep out of her the entire time.  I knew she was excited when she kicked her powerful little legs.
 Never before seen in captivity, here is the binky gorilla.
Jessica wore her monkey leash for a little while, she didn't seem to mind it.
 This zoo has a pretty sizable petting zoo and you can feed most of the animals and that makes it a lot of fun.


Giraffes are one of Jessica's favorite animals.  She doesn't know what sound they make so she says "neck" when she sees them.



 Don't worry, the goat didn't bite her.  The only thing that bit her was a caterpillar and she took care of that little nuisance herself.



Here's a video of Jessica and the caterpillar.


I put in 50 cents and all of the sudden there is a swarm of kids on the ponies... that made the ride all the better for Jess.

These little birds are so much fun, we could spent all day in their enclosure.  Some of the more feisty ones were nipping.  I am glad none of them nipped Jess because they might have ended up like that poor caterpillar.



And here are a few pictures and videos from this past week.  Jessica loves coloring with her markers.
I have been working out with a group of moms every Mon, Wed and Fri down by the seawall.  My friend, Jenny, organized a group on facebook and it's called Stroller Burn.  So far there is at least a dozen members that go regularly.


Allison LOVES her jungle jumper.  I guess the love of exercise runs in the family.

What an entertaining blog! Every picture and video was great. Looks like Daddy was enjoying the zoo as much as the girls.

Looked like a lot of fun. Allison was sure worked up in her jumper ! I love listening to the delighted screams. That one of the caterpillar and Jessica was really cute too. Thank you so much for the newest blog. Great way to end this Monday evening.
