Turtles for Toddlers

For the last several months Kate has been obsessed with singing a song about a turtle named Tiny Tim that she learned at church. She sings it every time she sees a turtle or any sort of shape that might look a little like a turtle. We made a trip to the zoo this weekend and Kate got the chance to see two tiny turtles swimming in the water, one big turtle in another area, and several huge turtles walking around in a grassy area. Here's a 30 sec video of her with the precious tiny swimming turtles followed by her singing her little turtle song:

While we were there we also saw a white tiger who was very attracted to Kate and her friend Avery. I'm not sure if he thought they'd be fun to play with or if he was hoped he was looking at his dinner - but regardless he was cute in a oddly gentle yet dangerous beast sort of way with them. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I imagine a video is worth at least a million or two, so here's another 30 second video of the "playful" white tiger who was trying to lick their hands as well as a couple other highlights of our trip:
