Miami Metro Zoo

While my parents were here we went to the Miami Metro Zoo. It was the first time Taylyn has ever been. She loved it and was so curious with so many animals around.She called anything with four legs a neigh-neigh and came up with her own noise for her favorite of the day an elephant. As soon as she saw them she started pointing, giggling, and making this noise that actually sounds a lot like an elephant. They had a Zorse (part horse, part zebra) that was too cool not to get a picture of! Taylyn also liked the lions and tigers, even though she called them "ome, ome" (meow, meow, her version of a cat). They were lots of birds flying around and she had to point them all out saying "bir,bir." She sure loves animals!

They had a fun park that she really enjoyed. Grandma took her to play for awhile. Taylyn had Grandma wrapped around her little finger. Grandma was patient and walked with her, put her on her shoulders and carried her while I pushed an empty stroller. I guess that's what Grandma's are for!!!!The zoo had a petting zoo. After 20 minutes in there I had to drag her out screaming. She wanted to play in the "Wawa" and see the "quack, quack." She was not ready to go but everyone else was!
Grandpa had the best ride of them all. He got to ride in an electric wheelchair and raced Taylyn in the stroller a couple of times. He won!! He was a lot faster than Mommy!Taylyn of course wouldn't take a nap on the way there so I was worried she would be a monster. She was amazing, but by 4:30 when we left she was exhausted (she was laying down in her stroller, which never happens). She was asleep before I drove out of the zoo! Grandpa felt the same way!
