A zoo day during the week with Dad! We thought we would hit the zoo before the crowd of the summer and before the summer heat. We forgot one thing though - School field trips. The zoo was packed with school kids all morning but we still had fun. So this was how our day started with Emma happy and always climbing and James crying because he couldn't get out of the wagon as easily and when he did we always had a hold of his monkey tail. He was very unhappy about the leash but no one got lost this time. Yeah! (Last time it was Emma)
This guy was very nice to just sit in front of his window and let us all look at him. He did give Emma a scare though. At one point he walked away and when he came back he came right up to where she was standing. It scared her a little to see this big guy coming right at her but when she tried to back up she couldn't. There was a crowd of kids and one kid was standing right behind her with both of his arms on either side of her head leaning against the glass. Dad saved her and we quickly left the gorilla house with Emma in tears.
This was our favorite part - it only took coming here for 4 years in a row to finally see a tiger use their pool and do anything besides sleep. It was really neat. Emma enjoyed watching his tail move against the glass.
A trip to the zoo is not complete with out playing with the ball.
James is pouting because he is still wary about rides after we traumatized him at Lagoon. Once it got going he realized it was okay.
Love the playground.
There is a baby monkey getting a ride from Mom or Dad. Born this spring sometime.
James was also unsure about the carousel but I think he enjoyed it by the end. Emma is there in the background. She really wanted to ride an elephant but the outside elephant was taken.
