On Monday we took Y to the zoo for the very first time. As it turns out we could not have picked a better day! The weather was absolutely beautiful and even though there was rain expected (and the clouds started to look pretty ominous) we made it around the entire zoo and were gone before any rain arrived (if it ever actually arrived). Y pretty much treated the whole day as an extended trip at a park, we're not really sure if she even really paid attention to the animals very much but anytime she is being pushed around outside in her stroller is a happy time for her. We'll take her again next year when she will hopefully enjoy seeing all the different types of animals a lot more. There was one part of the trip that she showed extreme interest in, that was the Arctic Ring of Life where you go underwater and see the seals and polar bear swimming around. She noticed that there were animals swimming above her (as well as some pretty interesting people around her). I posted a video below that shows this part of the trip. It's about 2 minutes long, I tried to edit out more of the part where it looks like she's just staring into space (she's really observing the people around her) but alas I could not get it to work the way I wanted, so if you want you can skip that 10-20 second time frame, but don't skip all the way to the end or you'll miss the polar bear! We had a great time and can't wait to go again next year!
