Zoo + Firsts

With a warm, sunny in the forecast, we decided to take Jackson to the zoo for the first time on Saturday.  We rounded up my parents and Joan, and arrived at the Woodland Park Zoo just as it opened. 

Although many of the animals were nowhere to be found (I wouldn't blame them if they were sleeping in on a Saturday), we had a great time checking out the ones that were out and about.  Jackson may have been a bit on the young side - he was mostly more interested in running around and eating all the snacks we brought than looking at the animals.  At one point, an orangutan was literally up against the glass, two feet from J, and all J could do was ask for more snacks by signing and saying 'more'. 

J conquered another first - I took him on the carousel, but he didn't seem to be much of a fan.  Aside from his snacks and being able to run around a bit, I honestly think the highlight of J's trip was the PB&J sandwich (another first) that I brought along for his lunch.  Oh well - we all had a good time and enjoyed being out in the sun, and we're looking forward to making another trip when J's a little older.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day.  The rest are here.
