A couple weeks ago we decided to get a family pass to the zoo. Sophia is old enough to enjoy all of the animals and Gid loves seeing them all. Today was our second trip since we got our passes.
Last night and this morning, before we left the house, we had decided what animals we wanted to go visit. Because of that, we had a plan for what we wanted to see and it helped ease the stress of being around so many people. We were able to enjoy ourselves and time there and focus on all the neat things.
We got to see the elephants eat some peanuts,
and the baby orangutan.
The otters were inside, so Gid had me take a picture of him with the little otter statue instead.
The one animal Gid was really excited to see was the alligators. I think the one is trying to dunk the other with the way he has his front leg on the back of the other. :)
In the end, not feeling rushed to see every animal is such an amazing feeling. We were able to enjoy our time at the zoo and take note of the animals and other things that we want to see and do for our next visit.
I love seeing how happy the kids are when they see an animal that excites them. Sophia loved seeing the baby orangutan and the elephants. Gid was happy to see the alligators, turtles, and the bats. Silas really wanted to see the zebras and the sea lions. I am always excited to see the polar bear and Jen's favorites were the elephants and the momma and baby orangutans.
It was also fun to watch Gid and Sophia follow a turtle that kept walking back and forth along the window of the exhibit. At the end, we went to a bridge that goes over the little railroad so that we could watch as the train went underneath us. Sophia was so excited to see the train, but then so upset when it went away and she couldn't be on it. I think we will have to make sure we ride the train on our visit.
