Yesterday, we got to see the baby white tiger on the news, so Madelyn was especially excited to see him in person! While we waited for Lily and her family to arrive, we headed over to the baby animals. There was a baby jaguar and a baby porcupine, but we really liked the baby white tiger best! He was so playful!
Madelyn was quite anxious to see Lily; she could hardly stand it! She must have asked about every minute or so when she would get there. When I got the text from her mom saying they were there, I didn't tell Madelyn so she could be surprised!
Lily's whole family came to the zoo so it was fun to get to know everyone. The girls ran around and had a great time (no big surprise there).
One of my favorite animals is the giraffe, so when I saw the feeding exhibit (as always) we had to stop in to say hello. Madelyn likes the idea of feeding the giraffe, but once she gets up there, she usually gets a little freaked out. Although, I must say, she did a really good job this time, with a little help from Daddy!
Here's a short video of the giraffe feeding:

The girls enjoyed the playground and the petting zoo! There were two new baby goats that they found to be especially cute (and were too little to chomp on your clothes like the big ones do)!
We ended our visit in the aquariums where we all got to see some great sea life!
Once we made our way through the last aquarium, it was time to say goodbye. Boy, was that ever dramatic! Madelyn has always been sensitive, and the tears tend to come very quickly. It was a sad thing (and kind of funny at the same time) to watch Madelyn and Lily hold on to each other, crying. It was a sweet moment, and we're hopeful we can plan another play date soon!
