A tale of two toddlers

AT THE ZOO!
I think when I imagined having kids I imagined fun family outings with the kids yelling "I wanna see the bears . . . I wanna see the elephants!"
But life with a toddler is not quite so . . . predictable.
Much laughter was had by Esther and I when we realized the animals at the zoo were the LAST thing the girls wanted to see.
Although the goat in the petting zoo was a hit . . . they mostly wanted to climb on the rocks and hang out in the "zoomazium", which is pretty much an indoor playground.
O000, a rare sighting of the Ellie monkey in her natural habitat.
The lovely red-topped Rowen bird.
Laughably, one of the biggest attractions for toddlers at the zoo is apparently the water fountain! These girls have known eachother since birth and will be in the same grade at school. It's fun to see them starting to play together
