"We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!"

On Saturday, Bobby Rose and I went to the Louisville Zoo for the first time. It was a drizzly day, so almost no one was there - perfect for Rose to get plenty of animal-viewing time, as it was her first-ever zoo visit. We think she really liked it, although at this point any animal is still a "dog-gee!" We bought a year-long pass (it allows me, plus another adult, and any child under two is free) so we can go as a family or I can take friends. We're thinking the more often we go, the more Rose will start to recognize and enjoy the large variety of animals - and not think they're all doggies!

Looking at her first animal.


"Dog-gee!"


"Dog-gee!"


Lions. Really close it seems, though separated by a deep, deep moat.


Don't know if she really noticed them!
