Once again feeling a little spring fever-ish, I packed my little man up and met my mom for a day at the zoo! Adult admission is 9-12 dollars, but I opted for a Couple Membership which can get 2 adults and all children in for 1 year, which costs $60. At the advice of the nice lady helping me, I only put my name on and "Guest" as the second adult, so I can bring anyone with me that I wish!
First stop were the monkeys. After Parker seen them playing and climbing all over, I guess he decided they were fish, and signed "fish" to every monkey he saw. Unfortunately I don't know the sign for monkey, so I couldn't correct him, but I will be better prepared for our next trip to the zoo.
For most of the exhibits, Parker was unfortunately not quite as thrilled with the animals, but more interested in either
A) the fencing/wood slats/metal bars that keep you from getting too close
B) the cute little blond 4 year-old girl that we met up with time to time or
C) the water in the exhibits
So just for your information, in the couple pictures that Parker is looking off to the side, he's staring at the cute little blond girl :)
He also liked the lemurs
Next comes the elephants and rhinos:
He didn't quite know what to think about all the noise this elephant was making

Up close! And probably my favorite photo of the trip.
Next came the big cats that unfortunately, Parker didn't care too much about, but he did like the waterfall!
There is a tiger hiding behind the pine tree in this pic
And perhaps the animal that came in a close second with regards to Parker's reaction would be the Bat-Eared Fox. He thought this little guy was funny, he just giggled and giggled at him.
Even though the little man wasn't too intrigued by the animals this trip, I am still looking forward to frequenting the zoo. It was nice to get outside and look at all the animals myself. Parker loves to be outside and behaved himself the whole time. I am happy about my investment, and you can look forward to more zoo blogs in the future!
