Going to the Zoo!

Saturday we went to the zoo.  It was Jackson's first time going and I was so excited to be able to take him because he loves animals.  Especially gorillas.  I couldn't wait to see his excitement and expressions...  Well, I must have thought it out too much in my mind because we got very few of those excited expressions.  He did enjoy it but he would look at something and say "go see something else..."  Regardless, we had a good time. 
 
First stop, pink flamingos.  As always, Rachel is so much better at smiling for the camera than Jackson is... He just doesn't want to do it. It's hard enough to get him to look, much less to smile. 
 
 
My pretty girl.
 
 
Elephants!
 
 
Look at that!
 
 
 
 
Sitting on daddy's shoulders to see the giraffes, ostriches, zebra and a rhino in this area.
 
 
Watching the gorillas - they are so cute!
 
 
 
Being big birds in the nest.
 
 
 
The tiger walked over and laid down right in front of us.  Jackson was trying to roar at him.
 
 
The giant panda was so cute eating his bamboo right there in front of the kids.
 
 
 
We brought our lunch and snacks with us this time instead of buying there.  We found a place in the shade to eat and it worked so much better than last time. 
 
 
 
Daddy rode the carousel...
 
 
And mommy rode the train.
 
 
And then they got to play on the playground before we left.  This was one of their favorite parts. 
 
 
 
 
He's still a climber and has no fear!
 
 
Hanging on the monkey bars... Look!  A smile!
