Impromptu trip to the zoo

Last Wednesday we woke up and decided to make an impromptu trip to the zoo! Shane didn't have much going on at work that day AND it was half-price day at the zoo. So after our appointment with ECI, we were on our way!

This trip was a little different from trips in the past- Austin really wasn't interested in the animals. At all. He was so busy running around & climbing on things that he couldn't be bothered with taking the time to look at the animals. So basically he probably would have gotten just as much enjoyment if we'd taken him to an open field. Oh well. We had fun... when we weren't chasing him. Oh wait, that was the entire time :)

Watching the gorillas




Walking with Daddy


Some of Austin's favorite animals:
Giraffes


Elephants


Monkeys


We took our lunch & ate at a picnic table- it was a beautiful day! (this is why I don't like Shane's blackberry- he's addicted.)


This is usually what Austin does when I pull the camera out these days- lovely.


Always a favorite- feeding the birds






Hitching a ride


Loves the carousel (sorry for the blurry pic- we didn't have our nice camera with us.)


Watching the lions




Our crocodile hunter


One last peek at the gorillas before heading out!
