Trip to Oakland Zoo



We went to the Oakland Zoo last weekend with Jason, Felicia, and Valerie. Melissa and Valerie both sang in the car while we drove to the zoo. We all had so much fun at the zoo. Melissa recognized a lot of the animals, especially tiger, giraffe, monkey, and elephant. The weather was gorgeous but a bit too hot. Melissa fell asleep after lunch shortly, but Valerie (who is a year older than Melissa) managed to stay up and went to petting zoo. Too bad, Melissa missed the petting zoo, but we all think she's probably too afraid to touch the real animals. To conclude the trip, we decided to go on the little train. Unfortunately, there were limited seats when we tried to get on the train so we had to sit at the first row. Melissa got scared by the engine and honk noise right away, and she cried for a few minutes and held onto mommy tightly. She didn't seem to enjoy the train ride this time....Oh well, next time we will remember to sit further away from the train engine!

Going to the zoo is a big thing to a child.
