While in Baltimore we also took the opportunity to take the girls to the Maryland Zoo. They were able to see lots of animals, which was different than most trips we take to zoos. We seem to either go on days that are too cold for the animals or too hot for the animals. The day we went was quite warm, but the animals were out and about where we could see them - well, all except the giraffes.
We spent the first part of our trip in a section of the zoo that seemed to be pretty typical. The girls got to see elephants, penguins, camels, chimpanzees, gorillas, crocodiles, etc. Then we moved to another section of the zoo which contained animals that were native to Maryland. This was by far the highlight of the trip. This portion of the zoo was set up with a lot of hands-on activities for children. Madeline, Isabella, and Hailey pretended they were birds, in two different types of nests, hopped across child-sized lily pads, climbed like bears, and wore "turtle shells". They all agreed it was a great trip!
