Zoo fun!

Fun at the zoo!

We recently bought a zoo membership because our little A-man loves animals! We have gone to the zoo numberous times and he enjoys it more and more everytime. The best part about it is that he is starting to recognize the animals. I have about 30 animal toys and he can identify all of them. I will put out about 7 at a time and ask him to find one and he nails it every time. Some of the animals he knows by site are: giraffe, elephant, hippopatamus (one of his favorite storybook characters), bird (of course), cat, dog, frog, turtle, crocodile, zebra, pig, cow, sheep, horse, chicken, snake, lion, tiger, bear, moose, mouse, duck, fish, monkey.


Enjoying dad and the zoo!

He has a blast at the zoo and we now try to go for a couple of hours every week. It's perfect because we go and see different animals each time. He loves it and it makes for a fun outing. We've also had some incredible opportunities there. He had the chance to pet a snake and apparently it was hilarious. He also loved seeing the monkey's and wathcing them jump all around.

Giggling after petting a snake!

When we went the other day he saw some bears up close - the grizzlies were right up against the window. He got a little confused when one of the bears went swimming. He showed me the sign for bear and then looked back at the bear swimming (we were watching the bear through the glass underwater) and gave me the sign for fish. Apparently he thought the bear was now a fish since it was in the water swimming. It was super cute and super cool to see a bear that close up!


Other than animals - the next best thing at the zoo - WATER!

In addition to see hundreds of animals A-man loves all the water features at the zoo. The water fountain was a definite hit not to mention the splash park, spraying features, and anything else that happens to be water.


Best seat in the zoo!
