We took my daughter through Zoo America in Hershey, PA while we were at the Park and she enjoyed it very much.  Mostly she loved the aquarium of fish to watch swim around in the Bear's den.

At the close of the zoo tour we ventured into the gift shop where I hoped she would latch on to some adorable plush animal to carry around the rest of the week. 

Instead...Ellie latched onto a  rubber snake and squishy rubber lizard that she would not leave the store without.

I named the Lizard Lizzie, but she named her new snake friend that finished Hershey Park around her neck...Nake.

They were, as I hoped, inseparable.  Bathing with her, napping with her and the most fun...selfishly playing in the kiddie pool together refusing to let the other children lay one finger on either of them.

I asked for it I guess....
