And I'm so stoked that I was able to get that shot before the hat was completely off of her head.<br/><br/>SciFi Dad: I remember going to the T.O. zoo in high school and really enjoying it. Even though I was herding 10 kids around, trying to keep them from jumping in the bear pit.<br/><br/>Thopgood: Stop. You're making me blush.<br/><br/>Patti: Maybe I'll bring Erin somewhere so she can see dinosaurs next.<br/><br/>FADKOG: I wish...and even if they were I wouldn't have taken it.

We have one planned for May 31 as part of a Wigs for Kids charity walk. We went last year and gots some amazing pics and the kids had a great time. I tried feeding mine to the butterflies (they had an awesome exhibit called Butterfly Magic)...at another trip, there was a dinosaur exhibit and a t-rex ate my head (i have pics to prove it)<br/><br/>Your post gave me a serious chuckle...the bear and beer part had me spitting my coffee out...<br/><br/>I know you already know this, but Erin is a total doll baby...she is so precious.

Not completely unlike yours, although sans backpack and plus a stroller.<br/><br/>We enjoyed it so much, we got a membership (although the T.O. Zoo admission is a lot more than $11, so the membership paid for itself after 2 visits) and go probably 3-4 times a year, maybe more. Great photos.
