The Zooooooo

On saturdays we usually dont have much to do. I have a couple cleaning jobs, and sometimes laundry but thats about it! So we always try to think of fun things to do. Now that Emma is getting older we can do so much more and she can actually appreciate it a little! So Last saturday we decided to go to the LA zoo! Its so close and neither one of us have been! (disclaimer: i went when i was a babe, but i dont remember so it doesnt count, sorry mom)

It was seriously like 200 degrees that day, so all the animals were pretty much hidden... and we were sweatin like cra-za-zy





apparently this time of year is mating season for Flamingos! And apparently they get it on in THE stinkiest nastiest place ever! They were buildin nest and hatching eggs and it was THE worst smelling thing ever! There was a sign (should have got a picture sorry) warning about the smell and saying that it was normal. Im sorry but there was nothing normal about that smell. Anywho, this lil guy (at the mamas feet) was hatched just two days before!!!

I think he was dead,

Emma loved this hate, dont worry i didnt embarrass her by making her wear it, i didnt even buy it, we just took a pic because she loved it so darn much!
Once the Zoo closed we dreaded getting back on the bumper to bumper freeway so we killed A LOT of time. Drove around Griffith park. apparently theres some HUGE ferris wheel there but it was CLOSED, lame. But i found this sign in the parking lot funny!
We then went to the Glendale Galleria, and parked at some fancy smancy place and got real cokes in glass bottles, emma had a lil treat.. had to document my bad parenting just for you! Needless to say she loved it!
We shoped as H&M and emma fell in love with these glasses...kelly fell asleep...ha


All in all it was a Grrrreat day!!!
