Another Day At The Zoo

This weekend, despite the heat, we headed to the zoo. (By the way, Kevin knows the word "zoo!" When I typed it he said "That is the word zoo. Z O O spells zoo.") The first thing we did was go to the stingray and shark exhibit. We went last year, but they did not have the sharks then. Kevin was brave and put his hand in the water, and even touched a few stingrays. (You can't touch the sharks, they don't swim close enough.) Colin was brave enough to put his hand in the water, but would pull it up whenever a stingray got too close. I was still proud of him!

Daddy and Gwyn in line for the stingrays.

Afterward, we met up with some friends and walked around looking at our favorite animals. (They are currently gorillas and rhinos.) Then we saw our first sea lion show. Both boys enjoyed the show. They even pretended to be sea lions while we were making dinner.

A sea lion ringing a bell in the show.

As soon as we got into the car at the end of our visit Colin asked "Remember when we went to the zoo and saw the sea lion show?" Yes kid, I remember. It was about 2 hours ago. That kid is so funny. He still asks us if we remember having his birthday party at the zoo, which we have done the last two years. (2010 and 2011.)

After a long and tiring day, they got to watch a little bit of Bugs Bunny that evening. Kevin wanted to sit by Gwyn. I had to get a few pictures. (Side note - Kevin gets scared of the cartoons. His words. It is so tricky to find cartoons he likes. There is no way we can ever see Toy Story 3 or Cars 2!)
