A day at the Columbus Zoo!

Nate and Emmalyn enjoying the aquarium
Emmalyn LOVED the turtles
A new baby elephant was there but Emmalyn was more interested in all the kids!

We stopped by to see the silly flamigos standing on one leg


The tiger paced back and forth so Emmalyn could get a good look!
We stopped on a shady bench to eat a packed lunch and feed Emmalyn.
Back in the stroller to see more animals!

Paying very close attention to Mr. Turtle!!!


The new polar bear exhibit was neat but very crowded!

Daddy and Em watching the manatees wake up to eat. Emmalyn's favorite for sure... the fishies!!!

The manatees at feeding time.

A little power nap to make it through the rest of the day!













Today was Emmalyn's first trip to the zoo. We questioned her ability to enjoy it, only being 7 months but she was such a good girl and seemed to have a lot of fun! We got to see the new polar bear exhibit and all the other animals in the entire zoo. She really enjoyed the manatees and the turtles but the fish were definitely her favorite! We thought she would be amazed with the monkeys but it was actually the only animal she didn't seem to care much for. She was awake for the entire day, except a 20 minute cat nap. Somehow I think Nathan and I were more tired on the way home than she was!

What a cutie! I'm hoping a trip to the zoo is in our near future. I'm excited to finally meet Em at the 4th of July celebration at your parents'!

Maybe Miss Em needs her very own fishy in her bedroom...a real one! Hmmmmm?!
