Saturday we took our daughter to the LA Zoo and we got a year pass since it only makes sense for us to have one...
My daughter had a blast. She would say "Wow!!!" to almost every animal she saw, followed by "Mama!!!" and point at whatever animal we were looking at hehe. We walked the entire zoo, but some of the animals had been taken out... like the meerkats, because they where introducing a new member. Since we have a years membership, we will be able to go to member days when they zoo is less busy. That'll be fun. LA Zoo is also building a bunch of new areas between now and 2010.
Observing is my thing. I love it. And I love when I get to LA Zoo that there are other college students who -some, not all- are getting into the same field(s) as me and have the passion I do.
When I was taking photos of the Ring-Tailed Lemurs, I happened to just focus on one of them and she knew it. She was so social with me. It was just an awesome experience to be that close and to have that primate, one in which I love so much, to come near me like that. That just vaildated to me that I need to go into primatology, even if it's not my main speicality area. ...I know, I probably sound insane lol.
Sunday we took her to the pet stores. We decided that since I'm highly allergic to dogs and kind of allergic to cats & birds, that we'd opt to buy a Leopard Gecko. We will be getting it's home set up sometime this week, than the gecko & cricket set up next payday.
My daughter loves them. She was telling my husband today "Up! Up!" so he'd pick her up so she could see the little guys.
