Annaliese Goes to the Zoo!

We decided to check out the zoo in Atascadero...this was Annaliese's first trip to a zoo, so I was eager to see how she would react to all the animals. She was pretty disinterested in most of them...but very excited to walk around on her own! 

Before we went in to the zoo, we had a picnic lunch at the nearby park. 

After stopping at Subway for sandwiches and McDonalds for sweet tea, we headed to the park...Annaliese did great, considering all the open space to be explored!

 And she's off!!

 Packing up our picnic so we can go to the zoo!

 Annaliese finally gets it...walking is fun!

 She loved this chain-link gate that was at the entrance and exit to the aviary...much more interesting than the birds themselves!
