taking the Valdez Zoo to the Zoo

It was a beautiful day in the central valley last Saturday so the girls and I had a date day. We went to the Fresno Zoo, Chickfila (only one in 100 miles!), and Nordstrom Rack for some shoe shopping. One of the things I have really missed since moving here is the YMCA in Virginia Beach. Let me tell you though, running after these girls and lifting them to see all the exhibits at the Zoo is a work out! It is neat to hear how the girls make up stories about the animals. There were ostriches fighting and chasing after each other and Ava said, "Their Mommy needs to have them take a nap!"We had a great day of girl bonding.
Ava is all about the pink fancy birds in nature



Ava is like her Daddy and loves maps. She is like her Momma and loves to plan. She routed out our whole day. The map was very kid friendly with lots of pictures so she enjoyed her tour guide role.

Elephants!

This monkey was such a character. 




How we traveled between exhibits
The petting zoo was great. The girls were very excited because they know a lot of goats and sheep that live down the road from us. When we got there Ava said, "Momma look its our neighbors!"

The sea otters were our absolute favorite. They just love to put on a show and did a whole routine about 5 feet away from the girls
