One of our recent trips to the Zoo.
You can join up with other Wordless Wednesday peeps here and here.

Random Mobile Shots
Lily has been scared of slides lately, we don’t know why, she loved them before. So in trying to get her to slide again, Waldo and I have been taking Lil down slides to show her how fun and totally not scary they are.
It seems to be working because the last time we went to the school playground she went down the slides a number of times. YAY!
Random Mobile Shots
Lily loves to draw, I mean she seriously LOVES it.
This particular night I was taking a shower and she was hanging out with Waldo in his office. She gets to draw with Daddy’s cool bright highlighters when they hang out in there and it is so exciting for her. She also gets to use Daddy’s work note pads, which is very cool.
The next morning Waldo walked into the family room and showed me how she had colored on all but like 6 pieces of paper on his new pad. I think it’s funny, he finds it a little annoying, but annoying in that Daddy’s Girl can do no wrong kind of way.
New Town, New Zoo
One of the first things I did when we were talking about moving to Boise was to research zoos in the area. Surprising, I know. Thankfully there is a zoo right in Boise, Zoo Boise. We were at the zoo within days of getting into town. Again, surprising, I know.
Lily’s sleep schedule was all off from the trip so she slept all the way to the zoo and than we had to wake her up once we got inside.
She was really groggy at first and really couldn’t care less about the monkeys that we tried to show her. Then we found the Coati, which was at our zoo in Fresno, so she was very excited about seeing a animal that was familiar.
I had a lot of trouble taking pictures of a lot of the animals, because Zoo Boise has a lot of their exhibits behind glass and or mess/chain link.
Thankfully Zoo Boise also has a lot of statues.
Lil wouldn’t be happy if she couldn’t feed some statues.
They also had the same komodo dragon statue that the Fresno Zoo has. He was behind a rope though, so he had to starve.
Zoo Boise has some animals that we hadn’t seen before and that was very cool.
Snow Leapord
A bunch of different kinds of monkeys
Tiger statues
They don’t have a petting zoo, but you can feed the goats and sheep from a little candy vending machine full of little goat food pellets.
Lily wanted no part of feeding the goats, but Waldo tried really hard to convince her that it was safe.
Waldo became an expert at the goat feeding.
Zoo Boise has a awesome seasonal butterfly exhibit that I’ll blog about separately because I can’t narrow down the pictures to a reasonable amount.
They also have PENGUINS! I’ve never seen penguins in person before. They are very cool.
And penguin statues!
They also have very majestic eagles and Lions, both of which I’ve never seen before.
Lil got a stuffed buddy at the gift shop before we left.
All in all it was a very successful trip. A lot of the zoo is a little old fashion and in need of upgrades, but they are working on it. They have a wonderful Africa area and they have started working on a Asia (I think) area. I’m so happy that there’s a zoo here since that is one of our favorite things to do together as a family.
Dancing on the street
I can’t believe that I forgot to post this video when it was new, but somehow I did. Lily is quite the little dancer and we were out on a walk one day in March and she started to bust a move.
Waldo took this video, I took a similar one from a different angle. His was better.
