Animals, Animals & More Animals

We love going to the zoo. 
We have a membership which has been a great investment because we live so close and can literally go over and spend an hour or two seeing animals and running around having fun. Plus he naps so much better when we have an activity in the morning like the zoo, the park, running errands, etc.
 Asian Red Panda                                                                       American Black Bear
The zoo is great. I love the exhibits by continent. The children's farms. I even brave the amphibian & reptile building once in a while just so Cameron can see those as well. 
  
              Amur Leopard                                                                   Siberian Tiger which is the largest of all cats
        African gorilla                                    Cameron running ahead - he could run all day  
 Looking at the meerkats in the Lion exhibit                                   Cute & Crazy Cameron
One of the lions looking at Cameron but Cameron is too busy climbing and running around to even notice the lioness :(
love that so many of the exhibits allow the animals to be so close - it gives Cameron the best chance to actually see them
this is Ivan the male tiger, and he's so huge and beautiful but very grateful for the very strong glass in between us
Cameron actually being still long enough to see the tiger probably because he's still strapped down in the stroller :)
running and running - I almost always let Cameron get out and run around in the Tiger exhibit and Gorilla Exhibit because they are partially inside which means air conditioned when hot & just easier to keep track of him :)
Daddy came with us one morning :)
Trying to show Cameron the leopard                       Zoo keeper in the penguin cove giving a little speech & demonstration
one of the hippos actually out of the water (which we've been to the zoo a lot but have never seen the hippos out of the water unless they are inside the exhibit) - I think trying to eat leaves that had fallen
a little creepy almost having this huge animal stare you down
and a beautiful elephant


Hopefully, I'm teaching Cameron lots while we're there and he's learning lots.
