Olivia was learning to draw a giraffe in her art class, so she asked if we could go to the zoo and feed the giraffes. That reminded me about the Penguin Days (cheaper admission) that the zoo does every January and February. We generally go once a year around this time, so I agreed.
The weather was in the 60's, which was perfect for seeing animals. I learned back in my nanny days that you always see more animals when it's cooler out.
I didn't take a ton of pictures, but Olivia kept asking me to snap one of her.
She did get to feed the giraffes. Michael took a video, and I assisted, so no picture evidence.
But she did return to art class and add herself feeding the giraffe from the podium on the right. :)
She was so proud because someone at art class asked her if her teacher drew her giraffe. ;)
Sunday was a little warmer. So after church and lunch we headed to a school to ride bikes and play on the playground.
Olivia was a riding machine. She eventually took a break and played on the playground and conquered the monkey bars. She was thrilled. She's trying so hard to get to the top of rock wall 4 (she's just not tall enough). We keep telling her to just work on building her muscles. So the monkey bars was a big boost of her confidence.
We had a very cold few months, so it's nice to finally be able to get out and enjoy nature.
