The Zoo

We are members, of the Zoo, that is. We have an annual pass to the Zoo this year and I'm more excited than ever to use it. We went for our second time on Saturday. It was busy and there were lines to get in, but the lady saw we had annual passes and we got to go to the front of the line and get right in. We also got a discount on the Carousel so Judson and Darren went for a ride and loved it.
Judson wasn't sure about this Gorrila. He was scared of him, so we too a quick picture and went on our way.
I love, love, love this picture. Judson has discovered his pockets. I have seen him put his hand in his pockets a few times and I'm so happy I got a picture of it. So cute!!!

The Giraffe. We have a special bond with giraffes for some reason. What does a Giraffe say? A lion says "roar", a monkey has specific actions and noises, and elephant has a specific sound, but what does a giraffe say? Well, since Judson has a toy and a finger puppet that is a giraffe we have always taught him that a giraffe says, "me, me, me, I'm a giraffe", in a very uppity, snooty sort of way. Well, Judson has caught on. He now says when prompted, "me, me I raff"! It's so cute. I love misleading my child down the path of the unknown. It's a good guess, though, right. If nothing else Judson is so cute saying it, so the slight fib can be overlooked.

Judson didn't really want anything to do with this Gorilla. But I had to take the picture. The second photo is back from February. Has he grown?

How fun! We bought a family pass this year too and I LOVE it! Plus, it totally wears the kids out...

I can just see his first day of preschool. The teacher will be going through animal sounds and hold up a picture of a giraffe to stump the kids, and Judson, all alone, will shout out me me me, I'm a giraffe!

I love the picture with him sticking his hand in his pocket. I can totally see Darren standing the exact same way. When Mason discovered his pockets I started finding balls and hotwheels in the laundry. So fun.
