Katie at the Zoo

Not to long ago Katie and I were invited to a birthday party/zoo trip for the son of a friend who I went to high school with. It was Trystan's third birthday. The day started out with a party next to the Zoo at Griffith Park. I had never been there and there is a lot of construction right now, it was in interesting adventure. Once we were there it was fun.


Afterwards we went to the zoo. One of the first things we went to was the waterfall.


And of course the flamingos are there on your way in. They were fighting and caused quite a stir.


Katie got to see the giraffes pretty close.


Before we went Katie has said she wanted to see monkeys and a moose. Well there is no moose at the LA Zoo but she did see gorillas and a chimpanzee. The hippopotamus was Katie's favorite this time, he was very active and kept opening his mouth which is apparently very funny. Katie also consulted the map to see where we should go next.


The new elephant enclosure was very nice. As we were leaving we stopped and sat for a few minutes when along came an elephant. Katie got very excited and kept calling the elephant to her. A volunteer told us his name was Billy, so then Katie kept calling "Billy come here", Billy did not listen to Katie because he was eating at the time.


Outside there were several painted elephants, we had to go through them and say all their colors.


The zoo is an enjoyable time.
