The weather was perfect and we had the day off from work, so we thought it would be fun to take Pax to the zoo for the very first time. One of our first stops once we got there was the Children's part of the zoo. Paxton got to pet a goat. He makes his own little goat sounds all the time, so what a perfect time to meet the real deal!
After that, we took a stroll by the monkey cages. Daddy would point them out to Paxton so he was able to see them. He actually seemed pretty interested! He would follow them as they walked across the cage.
Then, it was off to the bigger animals. On the walk over, we saw flamingos, anteaters, and some other fun little animals. We finally made it over to see some elephants, zebras, gorillas and impalas. Right next door were the giraffes. It was so neat that we were able to walk right up to these tall animals! Someone gave us some lettuce to feed them...we tried to get little man to hold it out to the giraffe, but he wouldn't, so Alan did instead. Afterwards, we went over to the lions den. Paxton was able to sit up close and see them through the glass only about 1 foot away! He didn't seem as amazed as we were though, hehehe!
It was so much fun taking our little boy to the zoo for the first time. We'll definitely have to go back! I'm sure Paxton would appreciate it more once he's a little bit older.

Elephants are his favorite (they have to be, his room is full of them)
