While J was in Las Vegas

J goes to a conference in Las Vegas every October, and is gone for a couple of days. This year I took the girls to my parents house so I could have a little help. Nana took the day off of work and took us all to her zoo. This was E's first time there.

Who doesn't like penguins?

The elephants have a beautiful exhibit, and it is quite large.

Feeding the giraffes

Looks like they are ready for a safari in the jungle

Petting goats

Now this was M's favorite part. She is horse crazy these days, and we messed up on the time and missed the pony rides. Good thing we were going to make that a surprise. They were nice enough to let her pet one, and help train this pony. They made noises and yelled and ran around while the trainer in the corral trained it to remain focused as it walked around.

M did school while we there too, but someone wanted to play in the fake apples while she was working.
