The Zoo

Two weeks ago, we decided to take James to the zoo! There was a great forecast--sunny and warm but not too hot. We talked up the zoo all the way there but were pretty sure James didn't know what to expect.

His reactions weren't as 'big' as we were anticipating, but we know he enjoyed it all the same! There was just so much to see!

James' first favorite animal was this tall giraffe statue. I think he was just excited to get really close to something at last.

Checking out the lemurs, just like in the movie Madagascar! I'm not sure he made the connection, although we pointed it out.

It was really tough to get him to sit still for even a second! We had taken a picnic lunch, which worked out great! Sitting at a table next to the train tracks was also a highlight for James.

This little monkey was really active (maybe more than James :) and swung really close to the glass, which was perfect for James.

You can't really go wrong with a petting zoo. In this photo James was pointing at his eyes, mouth, nose...

As we guessed, James was zonked out about one minute after pulling out of the parking lot! What a fun outing! I'm sure he'll love it even more next time around, as he'll know what to look forward to!
