Riding the Gorilla and the Camel at the Zoo

It was a beautiful morning and at the boys' request, we headed off to the zoo.  There was lots of excitement especially with the polar bears.  We are still hoping to catch them swimming since it is has been such a long time.  It was also nice to see the progress on the new penguin home. Diggers and zoo animals are really big for my toddlers.

Before we left, it was time to ride the carousel.   The boys picked the gorilla and camel.  They initially requested the Eagle (Jackson) and Penguin (Connor) but those animals had already been taken.  Jackson went with the camel, which was surprising since we told him as the person running the ride did that he wouldn't move up and down.  I guess it is because he never got a chance to ride the real one before the end of the summer.
