Zoomania

We were so glad that the weather stayed warm extra long this fall so that we could finally get the kids to the zoo! It was Tristyn's first trip and Mason's third (we've only been able to get up there once a year!). Tristyn really enjoyed being outside and she loves being able to sit up in her stroller rather than cooped up in the carseat.

The first thing we saw when we went in was the Tiger. Mason loved it! He wasn't as excited about many of the other animals, though! When we went past the Gorilla, he hid his head in the stroller and wouldn't look. He did the same thing with the elephants, zebras, and giraffes! He really liked the penguins and thought it was funny when they jumped into the water for their food. We could have stayed at that one exhibit all afternoon! He also liked the black bear and hippo.

The camels weren't really exciting--we just saw their rears as they were eating!

Mason climbed the fence to see the penguins.

Mason was so excited when he saw the carousel and couldn't wait to give the lady his ticket so he could ride. He wasn't as excited to sit on the animals! We ended up riding in the sleigh--twice! Dan tried to get him on an animal the second time also, but Mason wouldn't have it!

The highlight of his day was riding the train. He loves to make the choo-choo sound while pumping his arm up and down!

The highlight of our day . . . when the kids fell asleep before even getting out of the parking lot!
