The Zoo!

Amelie took her second trip to the zoo Saturday. We had a big caravan with Aunt Barb, Uncle Luke and Cousin Ellie, along with our friends Shauna and Ben Baker and all of their kids and Ed and Amy, too.

Shauna, who babysits Amelie on Tuesday nights, and Baby Ezra, who had to wear a hat because he doesn't have very much hair:

We packed a picnic lunch. Amelie enjoyed her drumstick greatly.

We saw a tiger,

A baby camel with its mother,

Lemurs, and tons of other animals.

Amelie loved the monkeys most of all. She jumped up and down with excitement, and probably would have stayed in the small primate house the whole time and been happy.

She liked the birds a whole lot, too. At every exhibit, she gleefully yelled out "Birds!"

Thankfully, the weather wasn't too hot.

Amelie was content to be pushed in the stroller most of the day.

But she did want to get down and run around some.

The major plus was that no one got sunburned!
