Zoo with Maya and Chloe - Video

Here we are at the Zoo meeting friends

She was so super excited when Maya and Chloe arrived

They climbed up on the lion all together having a blast

and pose away like the little diva's are apt to do

Then they were ready for some rides, the airplane and the cars

Here are the three girls driving around and around

Then they jump up onto the Carousel

Holly rode the Zebra, here she is petting her Horsey

Finally we went on the train ride

We decided to let the three girls sit together all on there own

Of course I was right in front of them

and Kathy and Angela were right behind

But they were super excited and felt so grown up

This is the view of Oakland from up in the hills by the zoo

And this is the view down into the Children's area

We went into the quiet zone and saw some Emu's

The girls thought they were really cool

There was also Walleroo's

Which Holly just Called Kangaroo's even those these are much smaller

The girls liked them too and on this day the animals were pretty close to the train

So we could see them really well

Here is the Tiger

And even a little Duckie

He was hanging out with the Giraffe's

and the Antelopes

The girls liked looking at the animals but they also really wanted to play

So they decided to do a dance, Shuffle, Hop, Tap, and Hula

Aren't they super cute!

They can find anywhere to have fun and play

Holly had a copy of the zoo map

She wanted to know where we were on the map and she pointed out where we should go next

We decided on the Lion House, it was way up on the top of the zoo

and area we don't often travel to

Holly convinced the other girls that we should see the lions too

So we went.  Last time we went all the way up there we saw none.

This time we saw them, and they were so beautiful

The view was so wonderful and the lion was so cute

When he rolled over onto his back Holly said it looked just like Chewbacca

We sat and watched for a while in the shade

Then we headed out of the Lion enclosure

The girls insisted on a snack, but the Zoo was closing soon

and we were far from the exit

The girls found a new area to play in and went searching for the Meerkats

They found a little tunnel that brought them right to the center of there enclosure.  They were nervous to go inside

But eventually they did venture forward, and had a blast inside.  It took forever to get them to come back out

But eventually they did come out and it was time to go.. They all hugged goodbye.
