Today we went to the SF Zoo with Stella, Juliet & KJ. The girls had a great time together. They were also totally into using the map. They were actually “reading” the maps – the zoo does it in a really cool way where they show a silhouette of the animal on the map so they were figuring out their next moves by looking at the animals on the map. After about 4 hours at the zoo, we came home to watch the Giants win!!!! Stella, Juliet and Ella stayed in our room and watched Monsters Inc while we watched the game with our friends and their 3 dogs. It was hard to breathe during most of the game but that 9th inning was so exciting and we went crazy. Ella is indulging us and was shaking around her pom poms and having a great time with us. Just a few wildlife shots…notice the egg in the flamingo pics. We watched this flamingo fight with someone to keep it away from her egg, she inspected the egg and then she rubbed herself all over the egg and finally sat on it. I just love the giraffe shot because it looks so sweet. Ella scratcing her ear. Riding on the mother lion statue. Walking with their maps. The peacock…Ella’s favorite.I took this in November of 2007…3 years later… Ella and the girls and then KJ and his sisters. Ella loves these goats. KJ making a new friend. Ella was really loving this sweet young goat. Stella meditating with the ducks. The girls chillin. Having fun with Juliet’s dress. Juliet and Ella hanging like bats. This was taken in November of 2007… Here they are 3 years later! Going down a funny slide. One last time trying to get a peacock. Ella after the big Giants win!
What beautiful zoo pictures! I love the girls’ independence, and the fact that they’re using maps to get to their favorite animals. Incredible comparison from three years ago. Love you. Mom
