Los Angeles Zoo

This past weekend we took a little family trip to the Los Angeles Zoo. It was a beautiful, sunny and warm Sunday, especially for January! The Los Angeles Zoo was huge and took us most of the day, including a brief nap in the stroller to get through but we loved every minute of it. Sophie has always loved animals and this was the perfect excuse for her to show off her growing repertoire of animal sounds.

Sophie ooh-oohed at the gorillas

Made friends with a coati

Was fascinated with the bird show

Studied the giraffes

Tried to climb in to get a better look at the meerkats

Tried to walk as much of the zoo as we'd let her

She even did a little nose picking, while I was

trying to pose for a cute mother/daughter photo

And the award for the strangest animal goes to the Gerenuk. It had the skinniest legs, longest neck and tiniest head combination and just didn't look quite right.
