"Shhhhh animals in there!"

The first exhibit we saw at the Baltimore zoo yesterday were the snowy owls. The sign outside their habitat read "Shhhh! We are sensitive to loud noise." After conveying this message to Claire, she took it to heart and for the remainder of the day she reminded me and Grandma Karen that animals need quiet. In fact, she vigorously shushed me when I attempted to speak to her in the chimpanzee house. This was all very funny, coming from such a loud-spoken toddler!
