I made a trip to the zoo with both kids for the second time last Thursday. We enjoyed the day with Grannylou, Aunt Kristi, Dylan, Kadyn, and a couple of Kadyn's friends. We couldn't have asked for better weather and crowd (especially for it being spring break). I think we all had a great time. The boy finally enjoyed the animals instead of just the water at each exhibit. The girl also enjoyed the animals, but not being contained in the stroller (see her unhappiness to the left - and we hadn't even started seeing animals yet!). I didn't take a ton of pictures because we were having so much fun - and I only have 2 hands/arms and 2 kids who wanted a better view. We spent over 4 hours there - I think visiting the zoo will be a must again this spring & summer.
Here is the girl entralled with this gorilla. I was so excited to watch her find it. The lion put on the best show with multiple roars right after we walked up. The boy practiced his roar once the lion laid down!
Trying to get a better look...
Look Grannylou, an elephant!
"Climb, climb, climb," he said, and then he simply tried to get a better look at the cow in the petting area. The animals weren't much for being touched while we were there, but the boy did pet a chicken. I was so proud he touched it. The girl promptly crashed for a brief moment...but it didn't last long because she didn't want to miss a thing!
The boy wasn't too thrilled about stopping to take pictures, but we did capture me getting some little boy lovin'. I know the days of public displays are short lived.
