We took Anna to the zoo yesterday. They've done an incredible job of cleaning it up ad fixing it up after the storm, and there are only a few places where you can really see where it was ravaged.

Anna had an absolute blast! She's old enough now that she can enjoy the animals. Much of the time we didn't even try to keep her in the stroller, and did our best to keep up with her as she ran, screeching, from exhibit to exhibit.

Well, except when she was riding on Daddy.






She also got to touch all sorts of neato wildlife.








We also tried to go on the carousel, or "flyin' horses" as it's known down here. That was not as successful. Anna flatly refused to sit on any of the animals, so we compromised by sitting in one of the "sleigh" seats.





But, all in all, Anna enjoyed herself.
