Zoo Atlanta

We took Daddy to the zoo over Thanksgiving weekend.

At home, Gabi found her old Halloween costume and wanted to play dress-up.

Just before Thanksgiving, we went to the zoo with Gabi's friends. With a two-year-old, sometimes the purpose of a zoo trip isn't to see animals. This particular day, Gabi wasn't interested in watching the animals. She just wanted to climb and sit on rocks and statues, so we ended up hanging out by ourselves. I've included a few animal pictures, lest you think we sat on rocks because there weren't any interesting critters around.
