Greenville Zoo

My parents bought us a family pass to the Greenville Zoo as a Christmas gift.  We've been so excited about going, but we have wanted to wait for it to warm up a bit first.  Last weekend was beautiful and we decided to spend the morning at the zoo.  Emily was so so excited about seeing all the animals.  She's watched a Barney episode about Barney going to the zoo several times...it's one of her favorites.  As we getting out of the car to walk into the car she said "Maybe Barney will be here!!!!"  :)  

Just outside the zoo is a Greenville park with the most amazing playground.  Seriously!!  We actually didn't have enough time for them to play on it for very long, but we're so looking forward to being able to play on it longer on our next trip.  

We rode the girls around in their wagon while we were at the zoo.  They rode in it most of the time (with a little encouragement), but Emily pretty much was too excited to sit still and Hannah didn't want to stay in there if Emily wasn't going to.  Ha!  

The elephants were our first stop and just happened to be Em's favorite!!  

Sleeping lions...

The giraffes were my favorite!

The Greenville Zoo is so great!  This was both of the girls' first trip to the zoo and I'd call it a big success.  We are so thankful that this fun family activity is just 15 minutes from our house.  The family pass makes it even better...we feel like we can come and go, and we don't feel bad about just staying a few hours. We'll be heading back to the zoo very soon!
