First trip to the Cincinnati Zoo!

By Casey - June 18, 2012

Im not sure which Whitney was more excited for, going to the zoo or being with Emma, Caroline and Jenny!! She was a trooper and Im not sure she was even in the stroller expect for the walk back to the car. She didnt want her mommy though, she was either sandwiched between the girls or holding Jenny's hands....You can tell she misses them so much:)

She was so brave, touching a snake, getting close to an owl and even feeding birds that were flying free in the air!!! She did not get that from her Daddy I will tell you that much!!

Since that day she has mentioned the zoo many times and is very excited to go back.

Whit didnt want to leave this owl that the lady was showing off, it was part of the zoo babies last year and is now so big. She kept saying, "have it" but the lady never seemed to want to let her take it from her haha:)

This was my personal favorite! The elephants had just finished a show and came around the side to relax. They were tossing dirt on their backs and trying to stay cool in the shade. Very fun! We had to move along though because the dirt was filling the air and Whit started sneezing.

We visited with this snake and Whitney was brave enough to touch it. Im not sure she knew exactly what she was touching though haha! She kept going for its face and the lady would nicely say, "not the face...touch the back." Of course she didnt understand so the lady eventually turned the snake around so that she could only touch the back. Then as you can see, Whitney didnt just pat pat it, she got a good grip and squeezed!! The lady didnt know quite what to do and I was afraid for everyone's safety so thats when we made our exit...Im sure snakes do not enjoy being pinched!!
