Zoo Trip!

We took Logan for his first trip to the and based on his love of his puppy (read 160 lb dog) and the cat, we thought he'd love visiting all of the wonderful animals there. There were a number of animals that interested Mom & Dad and the more we tried to point them out to Logan, the more we worried that this might not be a new favorite place for him to visit this summer since we bought a family membership. We stopped to look at some monkeys, went into the cat house, saw some breed of antelope as well as visiting the reptile house, but still nothing seemed to really spark his attention
(I may have forgotten to mention he has been fighting a stomach virus for several days and his enthusiasm has been a bit dampened by his upset tummy and also the molars he's trying to cut). We saw a number of peacocks - some very close up,
but still, no real smiles.
When we got to the elephants, we finally got what we had been looking for!


He waved to them and chatted up quite a storm as we watch them for a few minutes before heading out for more adventures. He seemed a bit more excited as we traveled around a bit more. He had a bit to say to the rhinoceros as well, but I don't know if it can be repeated here!

I'd have to say the best reaction was when we went inside to see the giraffe...
Logan was especially amused when the giraffe smiled back at him!

And yes, before you wonder, we did stop by to see Daddy's favorite animal...

All in all it turned out to be a great day for the whole family!
