Showing Their Stripes

We've been getting a little stir-crazy in the house (Paige isn't much of a traveler yet), so Daddy and I took a nice little trip over to Moline to go the Zoo today. For the most part, it was wonderful.

In a perfect world, I would be telling you about how great it was to see the lions, jaguars, leopards, mountain goats, turtles, giant snakes and bears. I could amuse you with stories about how a little bird in the aviary landed on my head (it was HILARIOUS) and how I rode on a Leopard on the carousel. There were wonderful giraffes, wrestling monkeys and cute little bobcats. I even got to pet a goat.

What I DIDN'T get to see, however, was a tiger. Oh, there was a tiger exhibit, but apparently those big kitties were too busy to make an appearance for a little girl who drove over an hour to see them.

Here is a picture of the Tiger exhibit...



And here is a picture of a sad little girl that just wanted to see a Tiger...
