July: Lafayette wildlife



The Lafayette city zoo is a favorite hangout, especially on a Friday night in July.



Sydney as a lemur.

My little pony.
(This is the petting zoo. We did not drop Sydney in an exhibit.)


The goats really liked Brian.


Sydney pets Pretzel the python.


A side note: Sydney likes snakes as much as any animal. When we were in a visitor's center in the Smoky Mountains, Sydney was carrying a toy snake around the store. A woman exclaimed, "Little girls aren't supposed to like snakes." I hope Sydney didn't hear her. :) That anecdote is a reminder for me that she picks up on our likes, dislikes, fears, apprehensions, etc. Our goal is to educate her and keep her safe, then let her make her own choices. She can like or dislike any reptile she wants.

A train ride, obviously.

Still the train, again, obviously.


Our own Kelly Clarkson: Miss Independent.
