The Brandywine Zoo

This morning, Hanny and I trekked out to Wilmington, Delaware to meet up with our good friends Kate & Chloe and Aunt Nancy and cousin Judah.  We signed up for a little "Mommy & Me" class at the Brandywine Zoo.  It was so much fun and Hannah loved every second of it.  

There was singing, a craft, and the teachers passed around reindeer antlers and fur for the kids to touch.  Afterwards, we were given a tour of the zoo which, I admit was TINY, but was perfect for a little  1 year old.  There was a tiger, a river otter, birds, and other little animals.  The animal that was Hannah's most favorite was....the goat. We were allowed in their little pen so the kids could pet them.  Hannah flew out of my arms and walked right up to each of them and patted them on their heads as if to say "good boy".  She kept moo-ing and I had to explain to her that only cows Moo.  I don't think she understood, though, since she moo-ed at each goat  :)  

After the zoo, we all enjoyed a delicious breakfast at a diner and then went home for nap time.  

It was nice to be able to get out of Schwenksville for the morning and visit some friends/family and animals at the zoo!  We couldn't have had better weather for it, too.

The teacher was showing us pictures of all types of reindeer.  Hannah was more focused on the kids :)

Antlers were passed around for the kids to touch

So fun!

We sang "Rudolf the Red nosed Reindeer" and Hannah loved  clapping to it

Hannah colored a picture of a reindeer and then dipped her finger in red paint for his nose!

Tail pulling!

These girls will be good friends some day!

At one point of the morning, Chloe grabbed Hannah's hand and they walked together

It was too cute....

  1. Karen! She is a little girl now. The patting, mooing, her little jeans, clapping, "good-boy". It's too much! Love when you blog and I especially love seeing all of the pictures. BTW-Steve thinks Hannah looks just like you as a toddler:)
