New Orleans Zoo

We had a wonderful time at the New Orleans Zoo. Deya made a friend whose parents run one of the radio stations in Houma and they hooked us up with free tickets to the zoo, the New Orleans Aquarium and an awesome waterpark/amusement park in Baton Rouge. So far we have been to the zoo. Here is Kuzco the llama.

Deya really wanted to see some dinosaurs at the zoo. I am glad they had one.

This is Deya with her new best friend Amanda looking at the white alligator. She kept meeting new best friends at the zoo and she would hold hands with them and ask them their name and tell them her name. One time she went up to this little girl and her mom and told them her name and they just didn't understand and they kept repeating her name back to her wrong and finally Deya burst into tears and came running to me and Ryan. She was so upset that they couldn't get her name right. The mom came up and apologized and asked me her name. Now she won't tell anyone her name, she comes and gets me and makes me tell them. Maybe I should tell her about stranger danger.

It was fun to see alligators so close up, they were my favorite animal to see at the zoo.

Deya was so happy to go on the carousel, we went exactly a year ago and she chose the exact same animal to ride as last year out of the hundred to choose from.

They have an awesome elephant show at this zoo. We got to touch an elephant on the bum. Deya thought it was really cool. You can see her hands clapping for the elephant in the video.
