We took Aiden to the zoo for the first time on Tuesday. We dropped Eli off at daycare and headed off to the zoo right as they opened at 9am. We went to the Jax Zoo. I know we will be back so we bought an annual membership for me plus one other person. Kids get in until 3 so we can take Aiden for almost the next year.
Aiden had lots of fun. He got to pet a pygmy goat. He got to see them poop and pee up close and then didn't want to talk anywhere because he was gonna step on poop. It was too funny.
They had a pretty cool playground there and Aiden loved it. They had these huge slides that he liked to go down. We then walked over a bridge and played in the nest with an egg in it.
We only saw a small portion of the zoo. We got to visit some small monkeys and Aiden thought they were pretty cool to watch because they liked to play chase.
We walked by the carousel and we told Aiden he could go on it next time. We bought train tickets this trip to we rode the train right when we got there and at the end. He wanted to get on the carousel horse that wasn't moving for a picture and then didn't want to get off of it.
We made one last stop on the way out and that was to feed the giraffes. Aiden was so excited. When I asked him first thing in the morning what he wanted to see at the zoo was a giraffe so when we found out he could feed them, we had to let him do it.
We rode the train around the zoo for a second time and Aiden got the map out and was pointing out all the things we had seen. We all had a lot of fun. We left around 11:45, drove the half hour home, had lunch, and then took a 3 hour nap!!
We are excited to go back again and see some more animals. Today we took Aiden bowling for the first time. I'll post pictures of that soon.
