Just after we entered into the park.

Helena liked the petting zoo. Liam was really scared so we had to leave and watch her from beyond the gate….

…where he watched the chicken that got out…

…until it began to move!

Here are photos of Helena in 2004 and 2005. We didn’t go to New York in 2006 because Ada was about ready to pop out.

and Liam too. Liam was too tired and grumpy to have his picture taken in 2005.

The highlight of the afternoon was the giraffe (since there were no pony rides).

Drinking their “Puppy Slushes” before the safari ride. I didn’t get a photo of a camel kissing me all over the back of my neck, which Helena and Liam loved quite a bit (as well as the other people on the ride)
