Philadelphia Zoo

On Sunday, the Philadelphia Zoo was hosting a Down Syndrome Awareness Day.  The event benefited the T21 Club of the Delaware Valley.  We took the kids, who were all very excited to see the animals.  The weather was perfect!  
 





 
Grammy went too!


 
 
Lily thought this tortoise eating grass was so funny. 
She kept laughing when it would chomp on the grass.


Inside the Peacock Pavilion, there were activities, snacks and vendor's for the families specifically there for the Down Syndrome Awareness Day.
 
Isabella got her face painted.  She was thrilled!
 


 
When we left the pavilion there was a virtual parade of peacocks walking by.
Have I ever mentioned that I don't like birds?
 

 
ROAR!!!
(That's what Raymond said)

 
Lily kept blowing kisses to all the animals.  She is SOOOO cute!



 
Raymond's favorite animal by far was the giraffe.  He kept signing "giraffe".

 
 
Lily enjoyed watching the giraffe too.

Silly Face!!!

 
Everyone had such a nice day at the zoo.  By the time we got to the car, the kids were exhausted.  They all fell asleep on the way home.
 
Thank you to the Philadelphia Zoo for hosting an event to raise more awareness for people with Down Syndrome.  These efforts make all the difference in the long run.
 
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love,
