Milwaukee Zoo II

We took another opportunity on Family Free Day to go to the Milwaukee Zoo Saturday morning. We got there even before the zoo opened and it was a gorgeous day! Getting there early meant we could go and see the Cat Country without many others around. So, we saw the cheetahs play in the sun, the lions and tigers.
Dilan got out of the stroller and walked. Drew would get in front of her and coax her on - it was very cute and I got a good picture of it all. Dilan would get distracted by her own shadow which was funny to watch.
Drew and I in front of the giraffes.
Dilan did not want to leave the giraffes. She kept staring at them. :)
Drew, Dilan and me at the zoo.
The train ride was actually really neat - we didn't get to ride it the last time because of the insane line but we more than made up for it by riding it twice! We got our own private car which we loved.
Father and son.
Drew was in heaven on this train.
Daddy and his little girl.
Me and Dilan on the train. She was so content even though she was missing her morning nap as long as she has milk! You can also see baby bump here, seriously showing now.
David and Drew with the elephants.

Pure joy hanging out the side of the train.
Tired girl but a happy one.

Ah, the zoo. What a great family get away. Although the train looked a little small for David. Still looks like a fun time.

What a fun outing! WE have a small train that goes through the mall here, and that will be out outing as a family sometimes. It is (obviously) considerably smaller than the zoo's. And you all look nice and warm!!! Yeah! So, you heading this way, or what? Germantown isn't that far away from us - like an hour.
