Every spring break my mom takes all the grand kids on a little trip. This year we went to the San Antonio zoo. We went Monday and it was so packed! My mom called in advance to check what would probably be the slowest day during the week and the man told her that it didn't matter which day we came during spring break, the zoo was expecting to see at least 19,000 people per day!!! We left my mom's house around 7 a.m. and didn't get back until after 7 p.m. It was a very long day but was SO worth it.
The crew minus Clay, he didn't want to be in the picture :) It turned out to be a pretty warm day, but was perfect zoo weather.
She really enjoyed seeing the animals which kind of surprised me. I figured she really wouldn't be able to get that much out of it yet but she had a blast!
My favorite part of the zoo was the area specially designed for kids five and under. They had a petting zoo area with pigs and goats where you could feed them and brush them. Korbyn just kept following this pig around but wouldn't go pet it.
They also had an indoor "exploration" area. As soon as we walked in Korbyn immediately ran to the play area and started playing like she was on her home turf, I think it looked a lot like daycare so she loved it.
Then they had this make shift "boat" for the kids to walk on. I have to say I was pretty embarrassed when we got on here. When we walked up to it I saw a couple of other kids on it and they were trying to make it sway a little bit, so Korbyn and I walked onto it and I was trying to rock it really hard (it couldn't rock that much) and Korbyn was just holding onto the side and we were both cracking up. Just then a zoo worker walked up and said, in a very loud voice, "ma'am! You need to stop rocking the boat so hard, this is just for kids to feel the movement!" I've never been so embarrassed! I'm not a rule breaker so I was mortified! I immediately apologized and pulled Korbyn off pretty quick.
They had an outdoor play are with a fake hollow log and she kept trying to peek at the other people crawling through but wouldn't go in it herself. I've noticed she's not really fond of playing in things like that. A while back her teacher brought in a big, empty cardboard box for her class to play with and Korbyn was the only one who refused to go inside of it. She's probably going to be extremely claustrophobic!
There's miss photogenic :)
