We had him take a nap before we went so he wouldn't be grouchy and as soon as he woke up he started telling us what he wanted to see at the zoo. "A monkey, a rhino, monkey, rhino" that's what we heard the whole way to the zoo.
My favorite... the tiger! Rarrr

They are so amazing


Orson measuring up... look how big it is compared to him

I can't remember if this was a jaguar or a leopard... I think it's a leopard. It's cool whatever it is.

This was a wolf of some kind and I wish I would have taken a picture of it standing because it's legs were SUPER long, like stilts.


Giraffe. I always forget that they are REALLY tall... I'm always taken aback by how tall they are

Nick the Sea Lion did a little show. So cool!


Ta-da! The Rhino! Orson was so excited. He loves them!



African Elephant

Asian Elephant

MONKEYS!!! I think Orson freaked out the most about the monkeys. He ran around saying monkey, monkey monkey! I didn't get very many good pictures of the monkeys because I was running around paying attention to Orson :)

Look closely... yes, this orangatan is "reading" this magazine!

It was so awesome! It would flip to a page and run his finger over the pictures and then flip to another page.

We had to take a picture of this ridiculousness. This is the fattest squirrel I've ever seen! It was just wandering the zoo... YUCK

Orson is about as tall as an Emperor Penguin


The majestic Lion

Do you see the Lion in the background?

Orson's chosen method of travel. eek!

Our wonderful family at the zoo. We had so much fun and can't wait to go again. I'm thinking a Zoo membership is in our future... :)
