Owen's First Trip to the Zoo

We had gorgeous cool weather for a couple of days this week.  So, we headed to the zoo on Friday to enjoy it.


Despite how she looks in this picture, Rachel and Owen were both excited about our outing.


First stop was the sea lion exhibit.  Rachel loved watching them swim.


After that, Rachel wanted to go directly to the monkeys - so we did.


Rachel still enjoys playing the drums in the African Forest.


After our snack time, Rachel helped feed Owen on the way to the elephants.


Rachel was not very interested in having her picture taken by the elephants, but she was willing to show off her ability to stand on one foot.  Owen was not too impressed - he slept through this portion of our adventure.


Rachel also still enjoys the aquarium in the natural encounters building.


Rachel helped by pushing Owen's stroller all by herself.  You can see in the background that they were setting up for Feast with the Beasts.  Wes and I went last night and had a great time.


Owen woke up again to see the birds.  He seemed to enjoy the birds and the fish the most - just like Rachel at this age.


Rachel once again showing off her skills - this time with flamingos who were doing the same thing.


I finally convinced Rachel to stand by Owen for a picture at our second visit to the sea lions.  She had a hard time focusing enough to look at the camera but at least she stood still.
