The Richmond Metro Zoo


Summer fun!


We headed to the Metro Richmond Zoo with Grandma & Caroline's cousins Christian & Isabella to spend the afternoon with the zoo animals. It was a hot day but we all had a great time! This was Caroline's second trip to the zoo. Her first trip was to the DC zoo, but she was only 9 months old then, so this time, she was definitely more into the animals and wanting to reach out and touch them! This trip to the zoo, Caroline spent more time out of her stroller than in. She definitely had a great time exploring!


Hope you enjoy the pics of our summer day trip to the zoo!


Love,
