Luke has this week off, so we decided to do some fun things. Today we went to the Zoo! Bailee was so excited! Of course Mickey Mouse had to come. Oh yeah, and the lipstick.
There were a ton of monkeys, Bailee loved watching them. In one exhibit the monkeys were sitting right up next to the glass eating. She thought that was pretty cool.
The Ghost of the Bayou was there again this year. It didn't move while we were there, but Bailee seems to like reptiles, so she liked looking at it.
This elephant sneezes and squirts water, Bailee wasn't so sure she liked that.
After Bailee checked out the Rhino's, she insisted Mickey needed to see.
Ah, this was a favorite. These cougars were so pretty. I was pretty excited this one came so close. Bailee said "cougars, like cosmo?" Yeah, she knows what's up.
"Giraffe has a long neck, like me."
This Gorilla was using an old plastic container and scooping water out to drink. He was also wearing a piece of burlap on his head like a hat. Kind of funny.
Bailee had a hard time choosing what animal to ride, but finally settled on the Lion.
So the snakes were what Bailee got the most excited about. She loved them all. Here she is showing me how big this one is.
I really think if they'd let her get in with it, she would have.
They even have a snake slide...
The last event of the day was riding the Zoo Train.
We had so much fun today! Bailee loved looking at the animals, and showing the signs of most of them. She kept saying "Let's keep going." after looking at each animal for a moment. She also really liked watching the penguins jumping in the water, and the roosters that we kept seeing. She already wants to go back...
She had been excited to go see the dentist, until she woke up this morning. I don't know what changed. She wasn't thrilled to be there though.
While Daddy had his teeth cleaned, Bailee and I had a doughnut. Then they gave her a cute new toothbrush.
After lunch Luke went outside and was reading some of his school stuff. For some reason, Bailee thought he was taking a nap. So, she went and got all of the things you need to have in order to take a nap. Silly girl.
When I told her it was time for her nap, she ran outside and pretended to be asleep. She was not happy when I took her and all of her friends inside.
Bailee walked some of the way, and Luke carried her the rest. It's only like 1/2 mile so it was not too bad. (Coming down was even better)
Bailee really liked the waterfall. We sat and enjoyed it for a bit, and had a snack.
After nap time we took Bailee to see Kung Fu Panda. It was also her first time really going to a movie. (I think we went to a couple when she was a baby, but I'm sure she slept through them.) Her favorite part of the movie was the preview for Wall-E. Now she keeps asking me if we can watch Wall-E at home. She loves popcorn, and wanted to hold the bag. It was almost as big as she was! I was impressed, she sat through the whole movie and was so good! She really didn't like the fighting parts, but she did like the animals.
After the movie we went to the KSL Coaches show with Bronco Mendenhall. We had hotdogs and hamburgers, and got to listen to the whole show. Bailee got scared everytime everyone started to cheer. It echoed pretty good in the show room, so it made the cheering sound even louder.
