Trip to the ZOO

We went to the Zoo in Guatemala city on Friday. I have decided we should really only go to zoos in foreign countries from now on.... you get to see the animals so much closer! The last time we went to the zoo was the Bronx Zoo and she was bored half to death because the animals were so far away she couldn't even see them! But the Guatemala Zoo had the animals so close she could see all of them.....It made for a much better day for Ellie.
She is at the perfect age for the zoo and she really enjoyed the morning we had there.
The weather was a perfect 75 degrees.
We started off with the animals in Africa... giraffes, zebras, then onto the lions and elephants.

The highlight of the day was the "petting zoo" area. Mind you Ellie didn't actually touch the animals.. after all this is Guatemala... but she just loved how close the animals were. There was a cow, ducks, pigs, rabbits, a donkey... but the best of all was the sheep. Ellie came up to the cage and I said Ellie, what does a sheep say? She said "BAAAA." But the best part was ... then the sheep just about scared her half to death and said "BAAAA" right back. It was hilarious and she literally jumped when he did it.


"BAAAAA"
