Zoo trip with Miss Kim and Evan

Our daycare provider, "Miss Kim" and her family moved to Topeka this summer. Once they got settled in we had talked about getting together before summer was over. So last Wednesday we headed up to the Topeka Zoo and met Kim and Sydney's friend Evan.
It was Gavin's first trip to a zoo and he was just thrilled about it! ;) Actually he couldn't see much of it because of our rigged up visor. (The silly sun wasn't high enough and when we walked in to the sun poor little man was blinded!)

...and how he spent most of the trip:

Next--the baby giraffe!

Sydney was bound and determined to see an elephant...as soon as we'd leave one animal she'd mention the elephant. She would barely cast a second glance at most of the animals..because she wanted to see the elephants. Sadly, the elephant was inside the elephant house when we walked by and we only got a very brief glimpse of his back end. Luckily, she was over it pretty quickly. :)
