day at the zoo

we took the girls to the oakland zoo today. the girls loved it! corinne and ella were such good babies. they napped on the way down there and then enjoyed walking around and seeing the animals.

without fail... i have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to get a decent photo of the 3 of us!

ella is checking out the flamingos and i think corinne is just smiling at daddy.

say cheese! well, at least you're both looking.

ella loved this little kiddie cave. she kept going back inside.

checking out the giraffes.

this was one of the highlights of the day. ella specifically asked to ride a tiger. thankfully, we found one available. when the ride was over she wanted to go again. she was so proud that she did it. every time we came around and passed ted she would say, "hi daddy!"

this was ella's favorite part of the day. she was so excited to be riding on the train. she was making friends with the kids in the line and telling them that they were going to ride a train. she loved it!

then we were serenaded on our ride home. gotta love it! unfortunately, i only got the tail end of "baby beluga".
