Happy Girl: Our day @ Maryland Zoo

I love this zoo & so perfect for little ones. Philadelphia Zoo is the best zoo on east coast & they have many animals & lot of walking to do. They have huge children's zoo & so many things to do & have fun. They have huge tree that you go in to look around & climb to the top (spiral staircase). Girls would go slide down from the top but as for parents, they can slide or walk down the stairs. They have huge wooden bridge & make you feel like you're in the middle of jungle. The bridge do swing back/forth but for some people who doesn't want to go on it can take detour. They had couple of caves. One cave lead you to go watch otters swim above you in the glass window tunnel. Mike scared the girls with turtle statue. We warned them to be careful or he will bite. So girls wouldn't go near the turtle. Mike scared them by screaming that the turtle bit him. LOL Sarah freaked out & laughed afterward. They also have maze of decks to watch birds, ducks, turtles & fishes more. They have cute lily pads where kids can jump on them in the water. It was rainy that day but light showers. We were about to finish up on seeing the last animal & the rain came down so hard. We were lucky.

I had to pick up Faith but I did with Sarah after this picture. They couldn't see lion & lioness because they have no step up for them to look thru the window.

Lots of animals are sleeping that day due to rainy weather.

Oh my fave animals ~ girls were so excited for me to see the elephants.

Goofy Mike & made girls laughed

Display case of how they capture polar bear.

Beautiful giraffees ~ they're trying to find shelter from the rain.

This one is unusual ~ that giraffee watched us the whole time. Girls love that.

Here's beautiful rhino ~ he's scratching his horn on the tree

Enjoy the view of penguins ~ Happy Feet!! Girls dance away after seeing them.

Bunch of zebras & they were so excited to see them.

Many animals are sleepy that day!! Hope they had good nap that day

We went to Annapolis Mall to reward girls for their good behaviors since it's their first time ~ no stroller or wagon. So we went to Build-A-Bear shop & they both picked pink hearts bears. I will upload up close pic of their dolls. Sarah named hers, Telly Bear & Faith named hers, Princess Bear.
