Zoo Days

For the past three months or so, Christian and I have frequented the zoo a lot.  Our most recent trip was with our cousins from New Jersey which was actually on the 15th of May.  Before then we went every week and sometimes more than that.  Christian keeps telling me things he wants to do someday.  Right now it’s be a zoo keeper.  Here are some of the cutest pictures I have from our visits.

 

  Here is Christian and his friend Jaron from our previous ward.  Sitting on the tiger statue.

I wonder if this counts for Christian when he told me “I want to ride on an elephant someday!”

The gorgeous tiger that they have at the zoo…getting restless.  I really can’t blame him.

I think Christian was a little more motivated to eat his lunch that day and take a nap so that he could at least reach the same height as a gorilla.

Here is Christian riding on the Bald Eagle on the Carrousel.  He has been very interested in these birds since he noticed grandma Jaydene’s bald eagle statue.

I think this is the closest that he should ever attempt to ride a rhino!  

Here are Christian and our cousins; Gabby is hanging on the Rhino’s back, Samantha is holding the ear, and Katherine and her dad Alan, my first cousin, are on the right.

 

 

 

 

Here is Samantha on the train next to Alan and Gabby in the seat up front of him.

   

Here is a picture I took on 5/17/09 the night before they left.

Left to right: Jessica, Alan, Katherine, Gabby and Samantha giving bunny ears.

Christian keeps telling me “I love my new cousins, I love Samantha, I love Gabby, I love Katherine too”  I guess we’ll have to try to make it back east someday and see them again.
