This past weekend we took Will for his first trip to the awesome Columbus Zoo, (the Number 1 zoo in the country!). We ended up buying a year's membership, which was such a good deal. Overall, he seemed to understand what was going on; he kept pointing at the animals and babbling at them.
He's pretty fearless, at least right now, and didn't seem to be too startled by the animals. Not even when the giant Silverback Gorilla charged the glass right where he and his Aunt Katie were standing!
Animals are just pretty hilarious, too, which made it a good day for all of us!
Will kept trying to wake up this sleeping gorilla. She didn't want to have much to do with him.
He really liked the Oceans part of the zoo, and seemed particularly amused by the penguins, which were showing off for the crowds.
And we touched some star fish in the tidal pools, getting Will ready for the beach! Only one month away!
And, of course, our little ham never lets a photo op go by! He liked the big bronze sculptures all over the park, this big sting ray being his favorite. He'll see some real ones in just a few weeks!
I don't think we have any snake-fears on our hands with this one!
Will's favorite, by far, were the bears. I think it was because they were big and playful (they were two young brothers in one cage). It might also be because we read him "Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?" and they looked JUST like the pictures in the book. Thanks, Eric Carle!
I'm so glad we can go back there as many times as we want, and bring people with! I'm sure Will is going to enjoy getting to know the animals this year.
