Nine days prior to placing her into traction, we opted to treat our Hip Chick to an outing at the Dallas Zoo. Due to the time of year, they offer "penguin days" discounts, but we would have made the trip regardless. Our little one is intrigued by creatures of all kinds and so we allowed her to walk to her heart's content, encountering whatever she wished.
There were many highlights for our budding zoologist: lemurs, gibbons, a chameleon, birds of prey, and all cats... but the pinnacle of her adventure was feeding a giraffe:
Despite the brisk February air, we cherished this time with her and the time outside. We hope that, in some way, this memory will make the weeks ahead a smidge easier.
