They've re-routed the tram to start the construction process and there are plywood walls and nets and construction vehicles taking over the grassy area that used to house exhibits.
Connor is checking out the vehicles. As if the animals aren't enough to pique the boys interest, add some construction vehicles and it is a total winner. I'm fairly certain that if the weather stays on the cooler side, we will be visiting the zoo more and more often.
After checking out the construction, we moved on the polar bears and took a drive in the tundra buggy.
This is my typical view of the boys everywhere we go. Jackson is often running ahead and Connor is closer to me near the stroller. Since the boys know how to get around the zoo and have preferences with what they want to see, it is not a surprise if one is at a different exhibit. And, not just Jackson. Connor will generally not wait for us to look at the birds and runs to get to the zebras, his current favorite. My guess on why it is his favorite is because he loves to count and there are 5 zebras!! Because of this, I try to dress them in either colorful shirts or shorts. Plaid was the key to today.
Another area that recently started to perk their interest is the aviary. By the time that I caught up with both of them, they were borderline harassing a spoonbill. I encouraged them to calm down and they were talking to the bird about "how cute" they are.
Just a little consultation with the map to determine where they wanted to get to next. They've expressed serious interest in maps and despite not needing one at the zoo, Jackson was checking this one out.
Crocodile watching.
And, posing for pics with the chimp statues. Connor asked for me to take his picture. Of course, Connor.
The warthog babies were not out. We will keep checking to see the babies.
