Off to the Zoo ………

A couple of Fridays ago it was a  beautiful day out. Evan asks me several times in  a week if we can go look at the animals.  So off we went.  I treasure these times alone with my sweet little boy. We have so much fun together. 

First stop were the giraffes. We went on to the platform where you can feed the giraffes after this. I wish SO bad I could have managed my camera and him because what happened next was so funny and cute.  He has ,in the past, been kinda scared of the giraffes up so close but today he picked up some of the roughage they were feeding the giraffes with. I held him up and he proceeded to feed the giraffe. I could not believe it!!!! As the giraffe took the leaf he also took Evan’s glove. HA!!!!!  We got it back.  : )  Then Evan just wanted to pet him over and over. SO cute.

Next we hung out looking at the water in the stream….

He wanted to feed everything after the giraffes. I don’t think this cow was too impressed.

Or the chickens.

Then we went by the playground before lunch.

We ate lunch at the Kenya cafe. Had chicken fingers and chips ( french fries  for you non africans : )   ) 

We then went to the BIG bridge that takes you over to the road to the botanical gardens.  We caught the tram that takes you there if you don’t feel like walking.

Us on the tram.

Us at the gardens.

Evan loved looking at the water.

And playing in the kids area.

They had these cool looking tree/bush like things. Not sure what they were.

Took a little rest…

And said goodbye to the gardens.

 

I promised we could go by and see the fish on our way out.

He thought the lady in the tank cleaning was cool, almost as cool as the fish.

Goodbye Zoo til the next sunny day.
