First time to the zoo

We went to the zoo for the first time recently. It was my company's summer picnic, which I helped plan, and it was a blast! Alex was too little for many of the bouncers, face painting, etc - we had so much fun looking around the zoo and on the carousel.

Here is a picture of Alex and his new favorite word -"Turtle" says Alex as he points at the turtles in the nocturnal house at Woodland Park Zoo. We stayed at the turtles for a long time and found that there were so many turtles in just one area. So many different kinds!

He has a couple of turtles on the wall of his bedroom and one day I was telling him what was all on the walls. There was an Octopus, a crab, a whale, and many fishes. Then, we got to the turtles. He said "turtle"right after I told him what they were. And the rest is history. He stuck his tongue out on the "t"s and it was so cute!

We visited the Petting zoo and Alex was petting a Goat.

On the carousel! He cried so much when it was time to get off! It was by far his favorite activity. A close second was the turtles.

We're not sure when we'll be able to go again, but we're sure it will be so much fun!
