Today Mommy and I picked up "Auntie" Nicole and we all went to the Olive Garden for lunch. I did a good job eating my food since Mommy said we were heading to the Phoenix Zoo afterwards. And guess what?! One of the first exhibits was for the giraffes! I was so excited that I ran as fast as I could to get a better look!
There was a tall tower so we could get a closer look at the giraffes. It had wiggly steps and stairs. I think I had as much fun playing on the tower as I did looking at the giraffes!
Doesn't this cactus look spooky?
Mommy and I took turns looking through the telescope to get a better look at the desert bighorn sheep.
At first glance from 20 feet away, this statue looked pretty real. Since someone else had been "riding" the antelope when I first saw it, I had to take a ride, too!
At the Columbus Zoo in Ohio they had pony rides. But at the Phoenix Zoo they had camel rides! Not every zoo offers this, you know. Auntie Nicole treated me to a ride on the camel. It was super exciting!
There were play areas throughout the zoo that were just as much fun as looking at the animals! I was so worried that I'd get poked by a needle on the saguaro slide. (Zoom in to see my expression better.) But after the first trip down, I finally believed Mommy when she said this was a pretend cactus and I wouldn't get poked by it.
