Danny's mom took us to the zoo in Fresno during our Thanksgiving break. Naomi had never been to see the animals that she has so long been reading about in her books. It was a pleasure to watch her look at the animals with such fascination. (I know, we live in San Diego, where one of the best zoos in the world is, but the Fresno zoo was a lot less expensive!)

Naomi loved the zoo, but her dad had just as much fun as she did. Who do you think spent the most time in the reptile house?

Feeding the giraffe...

 

She loved watching the seals and the colorful birds.

No, Naomi, you can't go in the bath with the hippo.

We enjoyed the sheep & goats at the 'petting zoo'. Naomi got more brave as time went on.
