Trip to the Zoo

Saturday the 26th of July was Marlee's first trip to the NC Zoo. It turned out to be a great day weather wise. Looking back to McKena's first trip 5 years ago, it was quite fun seeing how similar Marlee's interests were to McKena's when she was 2. The tram - aka "choo choo train" - was the hit. Marlee was a fan as well of the giraffes - the last stop on the tour. As the day finished and me and Keith being suckers for the kids, Marlee decided instead of the $7 monkey stuffed animal, last minute that she needed the $23 elephant. So of course that meant McKena needed a stuffed animal upgrade as well. Marlee knew without us telling her that she had to pay for the elephant so she picked up the elephant, ran through the store and through it up on the counter before we could even catch her:-)
