The weekend after the Bar exam we decided to celebrate by taking Eleanor to the Los Angeles Zoo for the first time.
We had been meaning to go for months and that weekend was clear and sunny so we thought it would be the perfect time to go. The problem was that half the families in Los Angeles who had children thought the same thing. It was crowded and it turned out to be little hotter than we would have liked.
Luckily Eleanor has a tall Daddy who could hold her above the crowds to see the animals. She didn’t react much, but did seem to like the gorillas and the giraffes. She was actually more interested in the crowds of children.
Eleanor even made a new friend outside of the orangutan exhibit.
Like all new friends she meets she wanted to point out all of its body parts. Like its teeth:
cheek:
eye:
and her favorite, nose:
By the end of the day Eleanor was exhausted.

How funny! We just went to the SB Zoo yesterday! K also loved the crowds more than the big animals, but she also loved the bird sanctuary because you could chase them…well, you CAN chase them. Probably not supposed to chase them. Aren’t these girls the best?
