Skyler's 1st Visit to the ZOO =D

Dearest Baby Daughter of Ours,

We had our very first family outing to the zoo today! =D

It was exceptionally crowded at the zoo today because it was the MOE “Zoo-Manji” Family Day. There were also many strollers all over the place, and people were laying out their groundsheets to have picnics wherever there was an empty spot on the ground.

Thankfully, we managed to find a nice quiet corner right in front of the elephant enclosure. While the elephants walked round and round and in and out of their watering hole,

we hid from the blazing heat under the shelter in front of the elephant enclosure and had lots of fun watching them and taking photos.

(It’s a bird… It’s a plane… It’s SUPER Skyler!!!)

(Super Skyler: “Hello, Citizen!" )

Later in the afternoon, two elephants lumbered right past us while we were heading to the polar bear enclosure. What a stunning sight!

Near the manatee and pelican enclosure, a little girl asked her papa, “Daddy, is the pelican taller than me?”

Isn’t it funny the questions children ask? And though the little girl looked decidedly taller than a pelican, her papa, who seemed a little distracted by the orang utans playing in the trees above us, said, “Yes.”

At the penguin enclosure, a curious little penguin kept swimming up to catch a glimpse of you. It actually seemed more intrigued by you than you were by it!

By late afternoon, you were so tired. Still, you were tickled silly by a yellow fluffy duckie hand puppet in the zoo souvenir store. As the duckie quacked and tickled you, you laughed and laughed to the amusement of passers-by.

What a day we had at the zoo, Baby Duckie! Papa Duckie and Mama Duckie will always love you!

=D
