fresno zoo.

mat test and the zoo. the first much less thrilling than the latter. picture me in an empty room. analogies on a computer. having a full blown conversation with myself. 'ok this is the same as that, so which one is the same? what does that word even mean? holy cow time.' just a random sampling of what you might have heard. a picnic at the park followed. brian and i may or may not have been making crude jokes about a particular duck doing the jersey turnpike while trying to drink water. we are mature. and then we headed to this. chaffee zoo.  

above. ellie and the elliepant. below. captain and i. circa end of january beginning of february.

her favorite thing at the zoo is feeding the giraffes. i don't blame her, it was pretty darn fun. they're so photogenic don't you think? i cracked up after i saw the picture of brian, ella, and apparently a professional giraffe model.

mom had told me before we got there that the weather was supposed to be cooler so the animals might be more active. apparently 90's is cooler for these poor animals because she was right...they were out and ready to mingle. mr. bear especially.

if good, we promised we would take her here. she was good. so there we went.

first rollar coaster ride ever. 'i want to go there' she exclaimed. 'ummm you might not be tall enough' was the response. i was wrong.

she fell asleep within 5 minutes of being in the car. so did i.
