zooseum

we were planning a low-key july 4th. no travel plans and Q hates fireworks. the philly zoo and the please touch museum are really close to each other. and we have memberships to both. so we decided to do the oft-discussed but never-attempted zooseum challenge. the best part was it only cost us $3 total (daddy was thirsty and out of pre-packed beverages.)

we weren't sure what to expect since it was a random middle of the week holiday.  we got to the zoo right when it opened in the morning and it was a ghost town.  it stayed that way just about the whole time we were there.  it started to fill up after lunch time, but by then we were off to the museum, which was also empty.

daddy was very excited to see the new "cheetos"

pascal!

glamorous

we love climbing on these statues

the rhino and zebra are becoming friends.  sometimes the zebra comes over for a snack.

i just like the giraffe in the top corner... like hey! i wanna be in the picture too!

and these two were funny standing back-to-back

Q really liked the birds' bright red eyes

another statue to climb

impossible to photograph.  someday, right?

her turn

whenever Q discusses the please touch museum he calls it "the zeum with the kid who does this" and then demonstrates

getting there

and pickle had to try too

i didn't take many photos at the museum.  daddy and Q went off in one direction and pickle and i did not leave the grocery store / kitchen zone.  at all.

this kitchen puts our playroom to shame

making dinner for her friends

bright future in sales
