I haven't posted in a while, mostly because I have some big news that I can't quite reveal yet (no, Vivian will not have a sibling any time soon).Today, it was a gorgeous day here in L.A., about 77 degrees and sunny, so we decided to go to the LA Zoo. The zoo has really changed in the last 10 years, and is a really fun place to go. They seem to be constantly upgrading the exhibits. The latest one to open I believe is the new Ape habitat, which is large and lush. There is a lot of construction going on for new Golden Monkey and Elephant habitats. I gave Rich his Father's Day present early - a family membership to the zoo, so that we can now go whenever we want!
Vivian's not sure what all the fuss is about.
The giraffes were another favorite -- large, close and moving. Some of the animals were a bit too far away or too hidden for Vivian to really see, and if an animal was sleeping or not moving, she didn't always notice it. But you can't miss the giraffes.
Sleepy koala.
Sleepy Vivian. After a long day at the zoo, everyone needs a nap. But Vivian is the only one with a stroller.
Vivian at her Music Together class. Apparently, Viv thinks that the red sticks are tasty. I'm sure glad that all the playthings get washed after class.
This is what happens when you try to take a photo of a toddler who doesn't understand that she should stop walking towards the camera.
Having fun during the dance party!
After music class, we headed out to the zoo. I love this photo of a mommy gorilla and her baby. That's love.
I think this zebra looks so majestic. Of course, two minutes later, one of the zebras tried to hump another,, and everyone starting running, jumping and bleating around the enclosure. Pretty cool stuff.
The flamingos are still a favorite ("Mingos!")
