We were so excited to see her face light up when she saw the animals! Here she is right when we got there!
Our excitement quickly faded when we walked inside the children's zoo and we saw the look or horror on Addi's face! She was scared to death. We found the monkey cage and thought surely she would like them, but when a monkey came up close to say hello, it was over! We tried rabbits, goats, pigs and donkies...the answer was a definite NO.
We finally made our way to the aquarium and she lightened up some. She liked running around looking at the different tanks of fish.
Next we were off to make a wax animal. Scott was more excited than Addi was about it! He remembered making them when he was young! Addi was not impressed with her new wax lion...
Then she finally grew to like it.
All in all Scott said he'd give the zoo a 4...
on a scale of 1 to 20.
Addi just did not dig the zoo. We'll keep talking it up and try again at the end of the summer.
Oh well, at least we tried!

Poor Addi! At least she looked super cute at the zoo! I bet she will end up warming up to it just like the rocking toy!
Aww...poor Addi! We are planning a trip to the zoo in a few weeks for Alexandra's birthday - I wonder if we will face the same reaction!
It's like I said, the animals she normally sees are in books and are a lot smaller than her - and they don't move - or try to land on her head...definitely by the end of summer you'll get a rating of at least 15 out of 20!!
Sorry, Addi! :( Maybe that Easter bunny experience had something to do with it ? ;)
