Lonely Little Girl

Kasey, Kinsey, and Brandon all left this weekend to go to their respective parents houses, leaving Alyssa alone for the weekend. We played outside yesterday and that seemed to keep her content, but this morning she seemed really lonely. She kept asking when Kasey and Kinsey were coming home. So to cheer her up, James and I took her to the zoo. She has been asking to go, and we kept telling her when it warmed up we would take her. So, we decided today was the day. Unfortunately, about a million other people decided that today was the day to visit the zoo as well. We circled the parking lot forever before we found a parking space. We finally found one, stood in line, paid our admission, and we were finally at the zoo.

So, here we are in front of the lions. Alyssa was disappointed that there was no baby lions. She couldn't understand how there could be a mommy lion and a daddy lion and no baby lion. James kept trying to explain that these were two daddy lions, but to no avail.







Here James and Alyssa are standing in front of an exhibit of something. Okay, Okay, I honestly don't know what it is. At the time I took the picture, there was something there, I swear.









Here is the highlight of Alyssa's visit to the zoo. She got to ride a horse. Alyssa loves horses. She gets to see them all the time where we live, but this was her first ride. She loved it.









This one is camels. James and Alyssa standing in front of the camels, that Alyssa wasn't that impressed with because it was like the 3rd animal that was sleeping.
So, that was our day at the zoo. Actually it was like an hour and a half, but who is counting =) The three of us had a great time, and her brother and sisters will be home tomorrow.
