Day at the Zoo

Each Wednesday in September, the Phoenix Zoo was offering 2 free admissions. Luckily, we had today open so we could take advantage of it! The weather was perfect (high 80's) for our trip and since we went first thing in the morning, ALL of the animals were out and about. We had so much fun!

This was by far Brychan's favorite. He kept meowing at it until I reminded him that big cats growl. Then he kept signing cat while growling at him.

Brychan loves giraffes and was very excited about seeing them, but once it came to actually feeding them, he wasn't quite so sure. I had fun, though!




Brychan loves elephants. Unfortunately, he only got to see the backsides of the elephants at the zoo. But. These statues might as well have been the real thing - and I really think he did think they were real. He would not sit on that baby elephant by himself for anything!! We have another photo of him "tickling" the elephants ears and he is standing as far away from the elephant as he possibly can, stretching his little arm out to touch it.

At the petting zoo. Brychan was very hesitant to pet the goats, but once he realized they were much like his dogs, he was okay.

This was my first trip to this Phoenix Zoo (there is another one closer to our house) and I was very impressed! There were so many things to do that we just ran out of energy to do or were closed today for construction (Oh yeah. The Construction also had ALL the water fountains AND bathrooms closed for the day. That part was not so fun for pregnant mommy!). Can't wait to spend another day soon!
