Wions, Tigers and Bears, OH MY!

A few weeks ago we decided to take advantage of the spring-like weather (although it was cold on this day!) and take Landon to the zoo for the first time!  Dada and I were very excited to take our little guy to see the animals- actually, I think Jim was more excited than Landon...such a fun, sweet dada!  Landon LOVED the zoo and we can't wait to take him back...even after what happened when it was time to leave -  which is captured in the following pictorial journey of our day! :)

First stop - the bird house.

Look at this weird little guy!  I'm not up on my animals so I have no idea what this guy (or girl?) is. 

Next stop - the alligators and a juice break!  Sadly, I didn't get a picture of the actual alligators! 

Wook Dada!  It's a efant!

Here she is hiding!  This is Ellen.  Sadly, her 60 year old friend Mary passed away this year.

Wet's go find the grafs!

These two were in an argument!  They kept pushing each other out of the way!

Move outta my way!

It's a wion!

Cool!  A nocerous!

Landon didn't care much about the zebras but Mommy loves them!

I can't remember what this is but I swear when we asked Landon what he was he said "antlope".  Maybe it is an antelope but I think it's some other African animal.

The otters really put on a show while we were visiting!  They swam all around and jumped off of their platforms.  Landon loved them!

Big ole bear!

More bears!

Landon liked the bears!
We rode the train!

Hey guys!  This train ride is fun!  Choo choo!

We saw flamingos!

Ducks and fish!

We fed the fish...
Saw these turtles just hanging out!

And this is Landon when we told him we had to leave...he threw down his hat, gave a pouty face and then threw a fit which included laying down in the parking lot.

And this is where Momma wanted to be - two year olds can be embarrassing!


Landon, we're glad you had a fun time.  We enjoyed taking you to the zoo and we can't wait to take you back!
However, if you act like you did last time when it's time to go home we may let you stay and live with the monkeys!

How fun! I'm glad you all had a great time and what a priceless pic of him throwing his hat down :)
