When we go to the zoo, rayne was very excited to see all of the people. She loves to people watch.
But, then, we went into Stellar Cove. She saw the sea lions swimming past the glass, and she looked up at me, "Mo? Mo?", touching her fingers together in the sign for MORE. She couldn't get enough of the huge creatures swimming past her.
Next, we went to the primate exhibit. A chimp was barely visible from outside and Rayne was intrigued. But on the inside, that big chimp came in and she couldn't get out of there fast enough! Maybe it was the human like features, or the way he moved, but she wanted nothing to do with him.
We went outside to the orangutans enclosure, but one look at the big male and she was outta there!
We got some ice cream, then headed for the elephants. Thinking she might be nervous, I tried to explain to Rayne that these guys are HUGE. Bigger than daddy huge.
When she first saw Packy and another elephant outside, she was interested. But when we got inside, she was HOOKED. Inside was where Rose Tu and Samudra, the baby, were having lunch. Rayne saw him and started shouting, "Baby? Baby?" And pointing to Rose Tu and Saying "Mamma? Mamma?".
After a bit we headed outside to see what the other guys were up to. The handlers were out with Packy and the other elephant, and as a crowd gathered, started having them do some tricks.
Rayne LOVED it, and didn't want to leave.
Finally, we got her to go with the promise of more cool animals to come. We headed for the Africa exhibit and checked out some plains animals. We even got to see a giraffe from the top!
The final exhibit is a frontier homestead exhibit. Here, Rayne got to pet goats and cows and even drive a tractor.

After a long and fun-filled day, my tired little girl slept all the way home.
