We had no set plan, we figured we would just spend some time looking at each animal as we got to them. But John had a different plan, he wanted to see the lions! We tried stopping and looking at a couple of the other animals along the way, most he didn't pay much attention to,he would just glance at them and say " I want to see the lions!" Except for the hippos they did get his attention, and we stayed and watch them play in the water for a bit. Even Audrey was enjoying her day,although I think she was doing more people watching than looking at the animals.
We finally decided to head over to see the lions, and much to our disappointment they where sleeping in the shade and we were really unable to get a good look at them. It didn't bother John much though he was thrilled to finally get a look at a real lion. Some of the highlights from the day where the sea otters. John had a great time watching the otters play around in the water, and one even came right up to the glass to get a good look at him.
The goats where also a favorite because he got to brush them, and anytime he gets to actually interact with the animals just makes his day.
And of course the apes are always good for some entertainment.
He was also thrilled to have a whole day to spend with dad. He has really turned into a daddy's boy since Audrey has been born, so nothing makes him happier than to have Aaron's full attention.
After being up half the night, getting up at the crack of dawn and then spending some time in the sun Audrey was worn out, and ended up sleeping through the last half of our time at the zoo.
Needless to say we had a fun day in the sun and truly had a great time together as a family, creating wonderful memories!
