Riverbanks Zoo





I took the kids to the zoo in Columbia while we were camped out there during our house renovation. It was Sterling's first trip and she had lots of fun. It was a beautiful day to be outside and all of the animals were in good spots to see them. We did the kangaroo walk for the first time and that was really cool. We didn't feed the giraffes but they were up at the walk way so Dallas got to see them up close and personal. Sterling wanted nothing to do with sitting in her stroller as she watched the other kids walking and running around. Once she was out I had to keep up with both of them and push the stroller all while not losing the camera, my purse, or my sanity. I got them into the aquarium thinking she would be fasinated by the fish but all she wanted to do was to go behind curtains and try to open doors that said "employees only." She didn't care one bit about the fish and was only going places that had no exhibit. So typical of her going right where she shouldn't. I literally have to chase her down and you cannot turn your back because she will be up the stairs or climbing a book case in no time! She is a total handful but she is keeping my weight at a good place chasing her all day so I guess I can thank her for that!
