Peek A Zoo

Hazel loves the animal peek-a-boo books from the library.  For some reason, she's always loved to do the elephant noise - arm up and all - more than any other noise, so I decided that must be her favorite animal... for now.  Yesterday we went to the Dallas Zoo with some friends, and we headed straight for the elephants.  She couldn't stop babbling all about them.  It was so fun to watch her get so excited for all of the animals. 

 

 

 

 

  Hazel has mastered the art of the stiff-arm.  She seemed perfectly fine sharing the elephant with Jones and Cohen, but me, no way.  HER elephant.  I also love how she inched in closer and closer to Jones during snack time.  I'm not sure he even noticed.  I did.  So back to the animals, Hazel really enjoyed watching the crazy monkeys, the giraffes, and penguins.  I'm sure she'd love to go back soon, but I think that may be the single and last time we go this year.  I don't know if I could stand it in the full blown Texas summer heat!  We made it just in time.  It'll be swimming and splash parks form here on out...
