The weather finally broke today and we headed to the zoo, the Living Desert. Jonathan remembered a lot about the zoo from last year, the pictures him and Grandpa looked through last night might have helped. He couldn't get to his favorite things fast enough: the trains, petting the goats and the playground (although that was new this year). We basically skipped right over the giraffes because Jonathan couldn't wait to get to the petting zoo. He found a buddy, Stanley (the goat) and was combing him forever. The ladies working the petting area were super friendly and answering all of Jonathan's questions. They said that Stanley was really liking Jonathan brushing him and he got a big proud smile on his face. Diana, well as you could guess, did not care for the goats. She did want to hold the brushes but she refused to go near them. Next on Jonathan's radar was the playground. I had to remind him we were there to see animals but he didn't care. The playground was actually pretty cool with tunnels, sand and water area and spider web ropes. Next up was the merry-go-around. Before the ride was even over, Diana was signing more and saying "more more." Lucky for the kids, Grandpa shelled over the money for them to ride again and Diana was so happy, until the 2nd ride came to an end and she left the merry-go-around crying, she didn't want to get off. Jonathan then remembered about a pond where him and Grandpa Gordy threw rocks in it last year, so we went there next. This year we also got a tour of the animal hospital there and some older gentlemen was very eager to show Jonathan everything. On our way out, the model trains were finally moving so we stayed and watched those for awhile. It was a fun day at the zoo!
We had to take a picture of Jonathan with the zerbas since he is sleeping in the zebra room.
Diana loved the warthog and didn't want to leave it.
So happy on the merry-go-round
Here is Stanley!
