Lydia's 1st Visit to the KC Zoo!


 Sunday, October 28th was zoo day!  Lydia's big potty training reward was a visit to the zoo.  It was her very first trip to the zoo.  I'm not the kind of mom that is going to drag a baby to the zoo when the baby is going to have no clue they ever went to the zoo.  

Judge me if you want!




Lydia seemed to like the snakes and how "big big big" they were.


Lydia all but climbed into this sheep's pen. 





Train ride on the Orange Train!  Lydia had a great time and enjoyed the first tunnel.  She was geared up for the second tunnel when every other kid on the train decided to scream and it scared her.  Now she builds tunnels with her magna tiles and knocks them down saying, "No, no tunnel" and shaking her finger. 


The penguins were a hit.  Who doesn't love a good penguin showing?


The elephants were also quite active.  It's rare to see 7 elephants movin' and groovin'.


Obligatory hay bales and pumpkins pics at Boo at the Zoo.  Oh yeah, it was Boo at the Zoo.   Lydia didn't want to wear her costume and she didn't care about any of the candy lines or activities.  That's a win for mom and dad!  
  


Dan told Lydia that since we drove the truck she could pick out any one animal to bring home to live in the backyard. She wanted the rhino...until she saw the hippo! 


We almost got to see the chimps, then we had a potty emergency.  
It was her one accident of the day.  I'd say that's pretty good for being 
newly potty trained and at the zoo for 4.5 hours.


Coolest dude at the zoo.


Beautiful pictures that should have been captured on the boat ride...that I didn't get to go on...again...because it's only round trip...and we were out of time...and and and.

Zebra Tram! 




Lydia got to pick out one thing from the gift shop and she choose a Stuffed Panda Magnet.  There are no pandas at the KC Zoo.  It's name is Kung Fu Panda.  Duh.

Anxiety - yep, about most things. Envy - uh huh, and wondering why she's different. (scars, treatments, growth hormone shots, CPAP, IE...
