A lazy Saturday (HA!) at the zoo!

This past Saturday Morgan and I met up with my Aunt Pattie at the Pittsburgh Zoo! After an hour of being totally lost in the Strip District (I need a Garmin BAD), I finally got to the zoo. It was a fun day!

Morgan was EXCITED to touch this ball python! I was gagging and shuddering inside until she turned around and said "Mama, you pet the snake?" ?!?!?!?!?!? Oh my gosh, NO. Of course I ran a quick finger down the snake, totally grossed out, told my Aunt it felt like a wallet (which it did but that's beside the point) and attempted not to be show her that I was SCARED. TO. DEATH. Ewwwwww...


I love how this black bear looks SO comfortable, foot up and everything.

Morgan is 4 inches taller than the newborn elephant. This pole was cool...even Ben Roethlisburger's height is noted :)



Isn't the baby so cute?! He was swimming just before this, putting his whole head under the water!

Look how close my baby is to those gorillas!


We had a fantastic day. It was a million degrees, we walked for almost seven hours, drank a ton of water, laughed, made animal noises, and fell into bed early. I couldn't think of a better way to spend an August afternoon.

Your zoo looks awesome. So much better than Indy's!
