Lauren and Kaden had a great trip to the zoo. She did take the stroller...but said she let her get out and run around most of the time. Lauren said of all the animals there....her favorite things were the ducks. Not the elephants, lions or monkeys. The ducks...which you can see anywhere around town. She would squeal and give chase. Also...the kid has no fear. If there was an animal within reach...she would grab it. No hesitation. Lauren taught her the word "Emu" when they approached that exhibit. Apparently Kaden enjoyed seeing this animal...and saying the name. For the rest of the afternoon she ran through the zoo yelling...EEEEEEMMUUUUU!..at the top of her lungs. Most people would try to distract her...shush her...contain her. Not Lauren. She loved it...encouraged it...joined in. She is going to make a great teacher someday.


What is your favorite animal at the zoo? Mine have always been the monkeys. They are so smart and funny.

I love the gorillas. I feel like we can really communicate...which kind of scares me a little now that I think about it.

I LOVE these pictures - especially the butterfly one. Kaden looks like she's having so much fun. I know that Lauren will make a great teacher, too.
