L.A. Zoo 🦒, 4/18


 hiii family :-3...! We went to the zoo today :-3. I love the zoo!! We bought tickets online the night before cus that's way easier. We were looking at other zoos and whatnot in the city, but lots either don't have lots of fun animals, or they're too expensive, so we went to this one (again :-3..).

 I was debating wearing makeup today, I'm glad I did (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠), my fit was hard, Sarina let me borrow her nyew sweatshirt since this one zipped, my makeup turned out really good, and she straightened my hair for me. #winning ✌️😋


 We got kinda lost a couple times cus their map and signs suck, but we saw all the awesome animals we originally set out to see, AND!!!! they got an okapi since I last visited :D!!!!!! I looooooove okapis!!!!!!

 We saw the seals first since they're way in the front and they're Sarina's most favorite (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠). 



 They had this really cute drawing of a seal on one of the signs :-3。。

 There's lots of lion statues throughout, so we stopped and took pics at the first one.


how cutieful (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)♡。。。






 They have some animals closer to the front like the prairie dogs, the flamingos, and the alligator.


observing :-3...


 Once we were past that, we had to walk a bit before getting to any of the other exhibits, but there's this spot with lots of bamboo that I think looks nice :-3, so we took pictures there too. 






 From there we followed the main path around the zoo. I really wanted to see the tiger today. I was hoping that since it was overcast and cold that it wouldn't be taking a midday nap. I also wanted to see the giraffes again (duhhhh~). 

 They had otters that I didn't see last time :D. They looked just like Piper does when she's in the pool :-3..!


these ones are like, giant river otters or something. they were huge :0

 There was a vulture or something.. I think that what he was.. but one of the workers was at his spot to give him a toy, so we got to hear more about him. He's in the zoo cus he's got a neurological condition or something and he can't fly. He's really big tho. 

I think she said his name is Marshall

playing with his ball

 We saw lots of monkeys today (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)... I want a monkey tail.


 Everything is so far apart.. we had to walk a lot and ended up getting kind of lost on our way to the tigers, but wouldn't you know it (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)... more excellent pictures.

dude, I'm like a photo taking genius or something


 Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! yay :D!!!!

 It was hard to get clear pictures. The enclosure is pretty big and far back, and there's lots of greenery and stuff in the middle, so it was walking around back there. 



 There's also a waterfall, so it was chilling in the pond (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)♡。。。




(⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)♡

 I'm very happy to have finally gotten to see a tiger at the zoo :-3..! From there we saw more monkeys and birds, and on our way to the elephants there was this really cool looking building that was housing monkeys. We took lots of good pictures outside of it (flash went off 🙏 bless!!), of us and our fun touys :-3.










 We finally got to where the elephant was relocated. It was in a different spot today cus of reconstruction or something. I don't know that I actually took a picture of it,... I took a video of it eating tho :-3.. so kyute.... ♡.


 My favorite was next!!! Giraffes!!! There were 3 of them today, and one of them walked over to the side we were on, so we were able to get some pics with it close in the background :-3.














 I love the giraffes, they're soooooo cute :-3..!!!

 Family, you wouldn't believe it.. my actual most favoritest animal has been added to the L.A. zoo.... an okapi :D❤️❤️❤️!!!! 

 They're the giraffes only relative, they're kinda small like a horse, they live by themselves, and they have strips on their legs like a zebra (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)... soooooooo cute. 





 We only saw a few more animals after that, like the kangaroos and the koalas and stuff. We had to walk a lot to get to that half cus they were like, separate from everything else. 

 When we were walking back to the front we were debating getting the caricatures done. We were talking about it when we passed it the first time to actually get in...but it's nerve wracking!! what if we end up looking scary... 

 We did get in line tho lolol! The guy doing ours said he was kinda disappointed we didn't get it in color since we're really colorful today, but he did our blush in the picture :D. He also took a picture for us holding it before rolling it up. 

 I don't think it really looks all too much like either of us like how some people's do, but I think that's better lol!!

 We also went to the gift shop cus while we were sitting for our drawing, we saw a few keychains hanging near the register that were really cute. They didn't have any of those keychains at the gift shop tho 😿, but I did get an okapi :-3!!


 After our happy fun good time at the zoo we went to Outback to have dinner (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)🙏. 

all green (-⁠ᄒ⁠ᴥ⁠ᄒ⁠-)。。。


 Later in the day.. well. night. we went and saw The Minecraft Movie. I thought it was ok, it was pretty funny. I didn't care for Jack Black in the movie to be honest. He was too put on or uh, overdramatic compared to everyone else, and even when you think about his characters backstory I think his demeanor and way of speaking didn't match, so it made him stand out too much, but at the same time, everyone else was better in their role, so he also wasn't memorable. The acting was a little choppy, but I still thought it was good. I'd recommend it if you like dumb movies, if you like dramas and more serious things I think it'd be a waste of 12 bucks. 

 Tomorrow is HDLA (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠).... nervous. also unsure of my hair set. I like the classic hime mori best, but I feel like I should do my standard hair set since I think it'll match the style of the set better. *siiiiigh!!!!* we'll see (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠).
