This past weekend we made the trek to Evansville. We left shortly after lunch on Friday and within 20 minutes of being in the car Morgan asked if we were there yet. She asked us if we were there numerous times, and after while she declared "Mimi and Papaw live too far away!" After about 2 hours in the car, both girls desperately needed a nap and were irritable. So Mommy climbed in the back seat and did what Mommy's do best- find ways to entertain the kids with whatever she can find! The camera held their interest for awhile and I was able to snap these shots of the girls in the car.
Morgan didn't really want to have her picture taken...
After finally getting there we rested up and on Saturday we decided to enjoy the 70 degree weather and visited the Evansville Zoo. It really was the perfect sized zoo for Morgan, it was small enough that we got to see it all without her getting tired in the middle and it had all the cool exhibits.
When we got there I asked Morgan what animal she really wanted to see. She replied "I want to see the Baby Jaguar." Now for those of you that have kids you will realize that there is a baby Jaguar on the Go Diego Go show. She loves Dora and Diego so of course she wanted to see a Jaguar. I told her I didn't think they had one, but we would see. Low and behold- they had one!
We also checked out the giraffes. Here is Morgan trying to feed the giraffe a stick.... She was pretty excited by this.
While we were walking, we passed a cage with some peacocks. Obviously you can't keep a bird in a caged area because they can fly. So while we were standing there the peacocks flew out of the cage and started walking on the path. Morgan was very interested in this and decided to follow the peacock. She walked behind them for awhile and we ended up in this little seating area, where there were a couple of peacock. Morgan got a little worried and kept telling me the "Peecas were lost..." she really wanted to help them. Not sure where she wanted to put them, or what exactly she was going to do, but I convinced her that the peecas were not lost.
We checked out the rainforest area where the birds are in open areas that you can walk up to. The screeched really loud and Morgan was not a fan.
We checked out the children's area and Morgan dressed up like a bat.
By the end of the visit, Morgan was telling me she was really tired and that her legs really hurt. So we had a good nap that afternoon. And for those wondering how Miss Elizabeth liked the zoo....well she got to see the sites in the comfort of her stroller.....
