The spring air persuaded us to take a trip to the zoo today. What a wonderful day it was! We decided to invest in a family pass for the
Brookfield Zoo, which will last until June 2011. We are very excited to take
Oden and the new baby to the Zoo as much as possible, as it is one of Jess and my favorite places.
Oden was very excited about everything, except the monkeys. For some reason he was actually afraid of them! Interesting..... His favorite animals were probably the lions and tigers. It was awesome to watch him recognize the animals and just watch them. We also went into the family zoo part. It was free today, so it was very crowded but what an amazing place.
Oden learned how to 'mist' plants with a spray water bottle, which he LOVED. He also loved running around in the tunnels that were in there. On our way out,
Oden was given a plastic piggy bank and has been attached to it all day. For the last hour or so he has been putting coins into it and taking them out, transferring coins into cups, back into the piggy bank, and randomly attempting to put coins in other items as well. He is so cute. I think this is going to be a great year for the zoo!
It was a great time, from the beginning....
Learning to spray the plants, this little boy decided that
Oden looked green I guess.
"I'm having so much fun!"
Checking out those big cats.
An exhausting day at the zoo warrants a big bowl of
sherbert :)

That's so fun! We love the zoo, too. My in-laws are coming in town this summer, and I'm kind of excited to take all four of the little girls to the zoo, even though Joci will probably just sleep the whole time!
