Philadelphia Zoo

Alex's work paid for us to go to the zoo yesterday, and we had a blast! It was our first time there, and we were a bit spoiled - they fed us lunch, paid for us to ride a hot air balloon, gave us free amusement rides, and Nicole got to have her face painted and ride a pony! It was great weather, and Nicole loved seeing the animals that we always talk about, especially the giraffes.

Nicole loved this goat. It was the first one she petted, and then other goats would come along and she'd look at them for a little bit and then run after this one. She followed it around for a good 5 minutes.

She wasn't quite sure what to think of the face painting. She really wanted to do it, but when the guy started painting, she didn't like it. I think it just felt a little too weird for her. It looked pretty cute, though!

We were all pretty excited about the hot air balloon ride. Alex and I have never been on one, so we got to enjoy something new.

Nicole's first pony ride. She was scared to get on, but once she did she loved it!
