Today we took Thing Two for his first visit to the zoo so he could meet the animals from his favorite picture books. (Thing One had other all-day plans.) He insisted on walking (no stroller, no carrying, thank you!) and was worn out after about one hour. Some animals, including the hippos and the lions, were napping, partially hidden in their habitats. Others (the mini horses and the giraffes) were out in the open and really caught Thing Two’s interest. The tigers were also asleep but a zoo docent showed Thing Two a tiger pelt to pet and he watched a short video about the newest baby tiger. Elephants and bears are other favorites but Thing Two was very tired after the tiger exhibit. We still had a long walk back to the car, so we decided to save the rest of the animals for another visit. The zoo is full of play areas, both outdoor and indoor (in keeping with our climate) and we look forward to exploring those in the future, too.

How fun! It is indeed hard to point out the animals when they are really far away!!!
