A fun day at the zoo

We went to the zoo last weekend and had a fun time. The zoo is one of our favorite places to go. We have a membership and definitely get our use out of it. Thad has his favorite things he has to do each time we go.

Our first stop is the Giraffes. Thad has to feed them 9 crackers each time we go. He usually feeds the same giraffe all 9 crackers! He isn't afraid of their slimy tongues either! We got a close up of one of them.
Up the hill to the Choo Choo train. Thad finally got to sit in the front for the first time. Usually other kids are already there when we get there so he always sits in the back. He figured out how to make the whistle go. He got an extra long ride because he was the only kid wanting to ride when we got there.
We also have to ride the carousel every time. This time Daddy got to ride with him.
I love pictures like this one. They capture the memories of Thad and Daddy!
Crawling through the little tunnel. Giving me one of his many funny faces!

Here is one of his very funny faces! He gets so excited and just goes for it! This was by the otter cages.
I think we might have started a new tradition at the zoo. Thad rode the baby horsey for the first time. He loved it! It went around the loop four times. He held on and rode it like a champ. That is all he has talked about since Saturday.

The orangutan was right up next to the window and Thad went right up to him and stared him down!
Thad loves going to the zoo. Every time we tell him we are going he says "I ride choo choo, I feed giraffes, I ride horsey?" all in one sentence! He knows the three things he wants to do and has fun!
