Guatemala Zoo

Sunday afternoon, we went to the zoo in Guatemala City with our friends and coworkers Lee and Staci Jarvis. I had always wanted to visit the zoo here so I am so glad that we got the opportunity. It was a beautiful and rain free day (unusual during rainy season!). We had a great time! Michelle loved the animals and was much more excited about them than I thought she would be. She would flap her arms and squeal at them. She especially like the birds, I think because they made the same squawking noises as her!

Here are a few pictures from the day (as you can see, we have many more pictures of Michelle than of animals):

Watching something intently. I like her hair in this picture.In front of the zebra exhibit.

Looking at the birds.

We could have all been a separate exhibit at the zoo. We were the only four white people there, plus with Daniel being so tall and Michelle so small, we attracted A LOT of attention. People kept making comments about Michelle and wanted to touch her. Good thing for Daniel's height, he kept her out of arms reach! Also, when I was carrying her, you could see the confused look on peoples' faces as they stared at us, wondering how such a pregnant woman could have another infant. Daniel said he felt like we were walking around in our underwear with the way people kept staring at us.
