Last Family Zoo Trip of 2011

When thinking back to the tears that occurred on our 1st trip, the boys have come such a long way. They were barely verbal other than mama and dada and I was basically using the trip as exercise.

Things have changed so much. It was almost 50 degrees with some sun in late November and we couldn't think of any other way to spend some time with the boys than at the zoo.

On this particular trip, the boys were very amused in the polar bear tundra.







Jackson never ceases to amaze me as he found a set of stairs that lead to an area above the cow's pen. Michael willingly followed and Connor and I eventually caught up with them and the owls. He is such a big boy as he was able to walk down these steps by himself without assistance.



All of the animals were getting excited about lunch, so I was actually able to catch some great videos (this is more for the boys as it is just from my iphone).



If you look closely, you can see Jackson and Michael wandering on the right hand side and at the end of the video, Michael will attest that he was under "primate attack" as the chimp crashed into the glass in front of Michael and Jackson. Michael was terrified and Jackson didn't even seem to notice.



The boys often struggle to see the elephants and it is hard to maneuver in and out of their area, but with Michael we gave it a shot.



Connor's necks... Michael wants to start a petition to officially change the giraffe's name to neck. Positive that Jackson and Connor would be the first to sign.



What a great way to spend a couple of hours with the boys as they soaked in their animals and showed their dad and I how much of a difference that a couple months can make and how valuable the membership could be.
