Birthday Trip to the Zoo

For Rylee's birthday we spent the day at the zoo!  We even got a membership so Rylee and I can go whenever we want!!!  Can't wait to go once it cools off a bit.


Looking at the elephant


There was a squirrel monkey exhibit that you could walk through that had these little guys just roaming around.  There was a gang of about 16 of them just jumping and swinging about.  They were so cute and Rylee loved them!

Riding the Komodo Dragon

Rylee's first time on a carousel.  Of course Dad wanted her to ride the Bald Eagle :)


Right before I started to video her, she was rocking back and forth and singing!

She looks so grown up sitting there all by herself

We had a little picnic for lunch and then went to check out the Giraffe's

Rylee loved walking around and checking stuff out, she got to the point where she didn't even want to sit in her stroller.  She is such a good little walker and did a great job all day.  


We were walking down a hill 

The Phoenix Zoo is pretty cool

Being that it was a Wednesday, there weren't too many people at the zoo.  We went to the Baboon exhibit and we sat there for a minute and this guy walked up to Rylee and started "talking" to her.  It was awesome. She was a little unsure about it at first but then she started to like it.  **Not sure why I stopped the video so soon, the conversation was just starting to get good haha


We had such a great time at the zoo with our big one year old!  It was a great way to celebrate her special day.  More on her birthday soon.

  1. I can't believe how grown up she looks, just nonchalantly walking around the zoo :). That's awesome that you got a pass so you can go whenever - I loved when we had a pass to the Boise Zoo because I didn't feel like we had to see EVERY animal EVERY time we went; we could just pop in and hit one area and then leave.
