Trip to the zoo

So, one of my co-workers for the past few years is starting a new job and wanted to get to meet Maria.  I asked her if she would be interested in going to the zoo.  We decided, kinda last minute to go today.  My amazing daughter only used her crutches to walk around the zoo!  She even surprised me by a few of the things she was willing to try.  She climbed into a big dino egg to get her picture taken...she had to get her legs over a tall step and stand in a curved bottom of the egg...not the easiest to do with braces on your legs or with her medical condition.  Now for some pictures...

Checking out some animals

She wasn't sure about going in there at first

Then didn't want to leave

Had to climb up some big steps for this too!

I think she would pose this way for all pictures it I let her

The above video was at the end of our time at the zoo.  She decided she wanted to walk on the rope swing bridge!  Totally shocked me...so proud that she did an amazing job!
