Dylly, Mom, & I went to the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium (#1 in the nation!) this past Friday, on Mom's last day of Spring Break. We had a wonderful time and we're looking forward to making many more trips this summer - thanks for the family membership, Mom/Grandma! Dyl's favorite things were definitely the aquarium, the manatee aquarium, and the okapi (or 'dog' as Dyl called it, haha.) She liked the Gorillas at first, until one came right by the glass and scared her. After that, we went by the bonobos and they really scared her. She was okay as long as I held her, but became very upset if I tried to sit her on the rail in front of their exhibit. She was also a big fan of the tons of other 'babies' at the zoo that day - she's a sociable girl!
Checking out the gorillas with Grandma.
Baby gorilla = adorable. Though I have to say, anytime I see captive gorillas, guilt is the number 1 emotion I feel. They are SO human.
Observing the leopard, which was grooming itself. Dyl kept saying 'kitty!', which was most adorable. (But then I guess I think everything she does is adorable.)
We still love merry-go-rounds!
Checking out the manatees, stingrays, and some cool fish with my Frillers.
I never paid attention to how many cool children's play areas there are at the zoo before. I was always just looking at the animals. Dyl needs to be a little bit bigger before she can go on a lot of the jungle gyms, but I'd say by next summer she'll be up for most of it. Here she is exploring one of the 'grain huts.' :)
My favorite picture from the day! It was a great day and will always be a wonderful memory for me.
