The last couple trips to the zoo have been great. Madelyn comes up with stories about each animal. She names them, decides if they are a boy/girl, and explains why they are sad/happy. Before leaving for this visit, she packed a bag of stuffed animals. When approaching a certain animal she would find it's "cousin" and wave it in front of the animal and explain that their cousin was here to see them.
Yes, that is a kitty cat with glasses.
This one is "batty" also known as "scarem"
