Kurious Kasia at the Zoo



Since the weather has once again turned beautiful here in Virginia, Kasia and decided to take a trip to the zoo. This is actually the second time that Kasia has been to the zoo. The last time we went was last summer, and I don’t think she enjoyed it very much. Though it was hard to tell because she was asleep for most of the trip. This time, however, she was able to get the full experience.
The biggest shock of the day was that we saw the miracle of all miracles. There was a male lion lying out in plain sight of everyone. Not only that, but he was actually awake. Considering that lions sleep around 22 hours a day, this was really quite a shock.
All total, Kasia saw lions, tigers, elephants, and a few giraffe that came really close. I was able to carry her on my back for most of the trip so that she could see over the fences that seemed to block her vision of everything at stroller level.
The big thing that she enjoyed at the zoo were the fountains. As soon as you enter the zoo, there’s a small plaza with fountains that you can run through (if that happens to be your thing). Kasia loved looking at them. She loved listening to them. But she did not want to run through them. I guess if she did, that would be too close to taking a bath, and that just isn’t going to happen.
