Zoo Time

Andrew has been asking for awhile now to go to the zoo. When it cooled off, we took advantage and headed to the zoo.

Andrew asked to pet the goats but once he was in there it took MAJOR convincing to actually pet the animals.



He got so excited about seeing all the animals!

Ben was less impressed!

 
Loves to drive a tractor

Whenever Andrew asked for the zoo, we asked him what are you going to do there. He would list seeing several of the animals and he always included eat popcorn and a snow cone. This made us laugh. When the Uganda girls were here we ate those and I guess he remembered... This kid has his daddy's memory.  


So we couldn't disappoint this little boy in his dreams of the zoo.

Borrowing Wes and Shelly's stroller

I LOVED feeding the birds. They were very active.







He would call for the "Kittys" I guess he can talk to animals

Another one of his wishes... Feed the ducks


 
We had a fun family day at the zoo!
