This past weekend we took J on his first trip to the Zoo! We slathered on the sunscreen grabbed our hats and off we went! We have a nice zoo that I haven't been too in years (although they could use more parking). I used to help my mom on her field trips many, many, many moons ago but things have changed. You come in a different way and there are all of these 'section's now. The weather was great - not too hot - and most of the animals were in full view. G did a lot of "quit looking at the humans you see them all the time - see the (insert animal)". But I have to say I agree with J - the zoo is a great place to people watch. He loved the giraffe although I don't know if he made the connection that it looked like his Sophie and he reached out like he wanted to touch the polar bear. Probably thought it was a giant white dog. He also seemed to like the penguins however he was a little concerned about the boy who was crying because he had fallen. We will continue to go with him for sure and probably become a member after he turns 2.. Highlight for me was getting to see Lily - our zoo's newest member of the elephant family. I didn't however get to see Packy our oldest pachyderm so we will have to go back. We ended the day with a Icee and hot dog and J had a bottle before heading back home. All in all a good day.
