a day at the zoo

today it was nice and sunny so we decided to go to the san francisco zoo (no, dottie didn't get attacked by any tigers). last time we went, dottie was about 5 months old and wasn't quite old enough to enjoy it like she did today. she loved seeing all of the animals. as per usual, her favorites were the birds. she rode a carousel for the first time and waved with glee at allie and me every time she and chuck rounded the corner into our site. when saw the lions and tigers, chuck tried to teach her to roar like a lion. she spent the whole drive home trying to figure it out and did not really succeed. her attempt sounds like she is clearing her throat. hmmm. she has mastered woofing like a dog and mooing like a cow but i guess it might take a little more time for the roar! to see more pictures from our day at the zoo, click here.
