Despite the scorching weather we finally had a chance to make it to the Kansas City Zoo this summer. I was so excited that this year Harper would actually know what was going on and be able to take in the animals. She was in heaven and squealed when she saw some of the animals. Here are a few pictures of our day.
Morning time at the Tomlinsons, she is in love with her Briggs.
Nikita is always a fan favorite. Harper clapped and screamed as if she could not believe she was actually seeing a polar bear.
Harper loved seeing and petting the sheep until it all went south. I think the sheep got a little tired of Harper and she was kind of in his personal space too. The sheep lifted his head and clocked her in the chin. She flew back and landed in the black bucket of hay. I am not sure if she was more hurt, sad, or pissed. I was kind of scared for her until I realized she was not hurt and then it became pretty funny. I am pretty sure she could have taken the sheep if she tried.
We loved the carousel and ended up riding it 4 times. The kids loved to dance while riding. Of course we rode the train a few times as well.
This is called a restaurant with a view. Notice our diners were not seated much.
Greg was brave enough to take both kids on the sky safari. I was too much of a chicken, I know my daughter too well, sitting still is not her speciality.
We had a great time as we always do at the zoo. Every time we have a outing like this I have a new appreciation for my parents and all the zoo trips and amusement park outings that they endured with strollers in the heat. It is a lot of work but so worth it when you see your sweet little babies smile and laugh. Here is hoping this heat wave ends soon, my outdoor kids are dying!
