Friday Night Date

Last week we took a family date to the zoo. Em loves the zoo, and she is finally old enough to enjoy it and fulfill my dream of taking a small child to the zoo.

This baby giraffe was only 3 weeks old, and it was still as tall as me! It was really cute.

Emmy kept asking to see the cheetahs. Well, the Hogle Zoo doesn't have any cheetahs so we showed her the leopard and told her it was a cheetah. Great plan, huh? Well, then she asked to see the leopards. Hmmm. So we showed her the snow leopards. She seemed satisfied with that.

She really wanted to ride on the carousel so we let her. What did she choose to ride on? A cheetah of course.

After our fun day at the zoo, we went to the Spaghetti Factory for a yummy dinner. Guess who loved her ice cream?

Anyway, it was really fun to have this little family date night.
