We tried for two weeks to get to the zoo, and finally made it in one piece.
The first time we tried, R fell asleep in the car on the way, slept through the whole trip, and woke up once we got home to say "whey ah da monkeys?" It was so sad. So this Sunday, we timed our trip better around nap time and finally made it to see the animals.
The elephants, which Raughley introduced himself to "hi MMMMMMM (elephant noise) I Ra Ra"
And he insisted on wearing his "punky" outfit, as one of his obsessions lately is punkys. (pumpkins)
Lots of words he's been using lately have "y" on the end. Such as punky, icy cold (ice cream) Tank-y and no tank-y (thank you and no thank you), and mooky/chocky mooky (milk, chocolate milk)
It's really been fun to play the role of interpreter, trying to figure out what he is saying as he talks, ALL DAY LONG! The funniest was when he was in the back seat of the car, and must have pooted or burped, because all the sudden I heard this little giggle, followed by "scuse me mama".
We got to see the beloved monkeys, but this guy didn't like us looking at him and turned his backside to us immediately.
The lions were the hit. As you might have heard, we have five baby lions at the zoo this year, and they are so cute!
I really wanted to take R to the Lion King, but its only in 3-d and I know he wont keep those glasses on for long.
We happened to be there around feeding time, 11:30 in case you are interested, and it was so cool to see them all feed.
What amazing creatures!
