We spent Saturday at the
Hogle Zoo. We were all very excited to take
Matson to the zoo for the 1st time. We wanted to see what our animal loving little baby would do when he saw the animals up close and personal. He loved it!
This is what he looked like most of the day. He was pointing at everything, wide eyed, and squealing at the animals! It was so cute. He was very serious about his trip to the zoo and just took it all in. He did get a little scared when he saw the elephants. He started whimpering and looked like he was going to burst into tears. He has spent hours studying animals in his board books. I guess he just wasn't expecting to come face to face with them!
Here we are waiting to see the bird show. It was the 1st time any of us had seen it and we loved it!
The giraffes were the kids favorite animal this year. I love this picture of Emily checking out the giraffes.
Carter was delighted by his trip to the zoo. I guess it had been awhile since we'd been because he didn't remember the last trip. He was skipping around just as happy as can be. He was very proud to have his own map of the zoo and never set it down the entire day. He would study it to find where we should head next. (Note: This happy picture is before seeing the carousel).
(This is AFTER seeing the carousel). Our happy, skipping boy turned into sullen, disappointed boy when he found out we weren't going to buy him a ticket to ride the carousel. He let everyone know just how he felt. He walked all the way across the zoo to the exit like this. He had his lip turned out pouting and he had his shoulder hunched forward like he was carrying the weight of the world with him (but he never did let go of his coveted map). I had never seen a 3 year old look so downtrodden in my life. Everyone who walked by noticed our little boy who felt his life was SO unjust and couldn't help but smirk a bit. I couldn't help but laugh out loud as I watched him walk to the car. I felt bad he was so disappointed but it was really so funny to see how he handled it. He wanted to make sure everyone at the zoo knew just how he felt. He is one funny boy. He was completely over it when he got to walk through the cool "gate" to get out of the zoo! He's pretty easy to please.
