"We're going to the zoo 3 times"

This is what Connor said when I told him we were going to the zoo yesterday. I had to think about that for a second and then I realized that he meant that this was our 3rd time going to the zoo here. He was right! What an iron memory kids have.






The first animal he wanted to see was the elephant. He excitedly said "look at his trunk mom!" and "he's so big!" He enjoyed looking at the peacocks that wander around too. This was an unusual all white one. Pretty cool.



Connor by the water wheel. He loves to see the "water carousel," as he calls it, every time we go to the zoo.


The zoo has a new learning area with this fun turtle shell that kids can climb in. Connor got in it and said he was shy (like turtles- that's why they go in their shell). Then he decided to venture out a little bit and show that he wasn't scared anymore. Cute.
