Photo Essay: A Day at the Zoo

By Karin at 10:02 pm on December 29, 2006

Mike and I took Little Girl to the Phoenix Zoo today - her first visit to our local zoo. A good time was had by all. :)

It was cold, so LG had to wear her hat and gloves. I’m not sure if she liked the zoo or the gloves better!

Anteaters may be the strangest looking creatures on earth…
