Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!!

On Labor Day, mommy and daddy took Kodi on his first trip to the zoo.  It was late in the afternoon and quite overcast, but still beyond packed with people!  He awoke from his nap just as we arrived in the parking lot, so it was perfect timing for him to be in a great mood!

The first exhibit we checked out was the Indonesian Rain Forest.  Inside Kodiak saw lots of exotic birds, a waterfall, a large orangutan, a huge boa constrictor, and so much more!  His favorite in this section of the zoo though was the tigers!  They windows were filled with people of all ages, but daddy found a good spot to observe them away from the crowds. 

Inside the rainforest, we stopped to take a bottle break next to the carousel.  Kodi was entranced by all the spinning and lights.  In the midst of eating his bottle, Kodiak also went poopy on daddy!  I guess he just wanted to fit in with all the other animals around him!!

From there we attempted to go to the seals display, but they were doing a live demonstration, so we avoided all the people.  However, we checked out the funny penguins right next door.  I think Kodiak really liked them because he's still developing his sense of color. 

The next thing we saw were the large tortoises.  Daddy believes that since they live to be well over 100 that these same tortoises on display were probably the ones he and mommy saw as kids too! 

The other exhibit we did on this day was the farm animals.  Here we saw bees, a large cow, goats, and Kodi's favorite animal of the day, pigs!  I think perhaps it was because there was absolutely NO ONE looking at the pigs, so he had a front view look at them was why he enjoyed them so much.  But then again, maybe their smell reminded him of daddy! 

Overall, Kodi enjoyed his first day at the zoo, but we still have many more exhibits to check out.
