First Trip to the Zoo

We packed our bags and took Caroline to her very first trip to the Zoo on Saturday. We decided to get a year pass, so we will go back to see the other half of the Zoo on another sunny day. She lasted a few hours, but had a blast! We have been teaching her sign language and lately it has been a focus on animals. She either signs the animal or does the animal sound. I think she loved seeing the animals moving in front of her. Her favorite was the birds and geese (she is most familiar with them).
Our first stop: The Lions.

She didn't want to be in the stroller sitting down after that. So for a few stops she stood up in the stroller. We know... dangerous. Don't worry, we got several looks. She wasn't like that for long.

This is a really BIG Cat. But she says "Meow", and in the middle of the video you hear a sound that sounds like someone is growling. That is Caroline's notorious sound. She has been doing it for over 2 months now, and it isn't the most lady like sound she could make.
We had to watch the pond of ducks.
Caroline signs Tiger in this video. Your hands go across your face, like the stripes of a Tiger.
Little did we know it was a Jaguar.

She signs 'Caroline Sign Language' for Lion. I love her sound with it too.

  1. How fun! Morgan always wants to stop at the duck pond, too. We'll have to meet up and go sometime! We love the zoo!
