So, Friday morning of our trip "north" we headed to the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita. Nick and I had been there a couple of times together, but didn't think that we had been there since about a year before Gabrielle was born. They have done so many new things there, and even though it was a little chilly, the sun was out, and it was a pretty nice day!
This beautiful swan was the first animal we saw.
We headed to the "farm" portion of the zoo first.
Gabrielle acted like she wanted to pet these goats, and then would get scared every time we got within a few inches of them. May be next time.
The newest exhibit...penguins.
Gabrielle not wanting to take a picture...nice.
Some really HUGE tortoises!
Just bein' crazy and trying to get Gabrielle to smile for a picture.
In the reptile building...Nick's favorite (definitely NOT mine).
Walking through the Jungle exhibit...Gabrielle wanted to push the stroller instead of ride.
Beautiful!!!
Nick set the timer on a little post so we could get a picture.
I think it turned out great!!!
Gabrielle and I on the other side of the waterfall. And, I know this is a surprise, but Gabrielle didn't want to smile (again).
Crocodiles...just glad he was in a glass case!
The crocodile was one of her favorites.
SNAP!!!
More SNAP and a smile for the camera--yea!
More beautiful animals!!!
Getting out of the stroller and playing for a few minutes.
Taking a ride on daddy's shoulders AND stealing his sunglasses...you can tell that we were still cold, but the sun was very bright too!
Trying to entertain Gabrielle by acting like a monkey...
My cutie...the one in the stroller.
Gabrielle got ALL excited when she saw the "park". But by the time we got closer, we realized that it was closed. Guess there were too many monkeys playing earlier. I was just glad that I was able to momentarily distract her with a box of raisins from my purse!
In Africa...I know this is gross--another picture that Nick took.
Acting like the King!
This lion got up and started walking towards the little stream. It was fun to watch the ducks and fish move away from the shore...I'm sure they didn't want to be lunch!
Beautiful zebras.
Gabrielle lovin' the zebras.
Hippos just hangin'.
The elephants having some lunch.
The rhinoceros seemed either tired or depressed...
The giraffes...I think this was Gabrielle's favorite since she mentions it first every time someone asks what animals she saw that day.
Giraffes are my favorite too!
Just a little candid shot of us...
One of the last animals that we saw that day in "Australia".
Gabrielle getting out and playing again towards the end.
