Today I took Elliott and Amelia to the zoo. We met Grandma Rosie and Cousin Daniel there. It was a great day. Amelia insisted on going to the butterfly exhibit first. You are allowed to hold the butterflies on your finger but they warn you not to pick up any butterflies by the wings. Amelia and Daniel had no problem following the rules but Elliott was a different story. While I was trying to take pictures (on 3 different occasions) Elliott grabbed hold of 3 different butterflies by the wings. Luckily I managed to get them out of his death grip unharmed. I got him out of there because I knew if we stayed any longer he would be solely responsible for wiping out the whole exhibit.
Amelia was scared of the goats in the petting zoo and kept yelling that they were going to eat her. Elliott and Daniel loved feeding the goats and petting them. The bird exhibit was going well until one of the birds bit Amelia's finger. She cried as if she had lost a limb! Those birds are pretty aggressive about their nector. I got bit and so did Daniel but he took it like a man and did not even fuss over it.
You can't go to the zoo without finishing it off with a train ride! We had a lot of fun!
