Obligitory ZOO post




I think every mother-blogger has to have a post about taking their child to the zoo. I must be an outstanding mother . . . because I have taken Jackson TWICE to the zoo! I know zoo pictures and posts aren't that exciting (Especially with a 1 year old only!) so I won't be offended if you click "Mark as Read" to get on with your life. Here is a compilation of the Hogle Zoo and Zoo Boise. Jackson really didn't show much emotion either happy or unhappy. Uncharacteristically he was very solemn.



He did really get into the drums and the playground. Especially the woodchips.



I'll be honest. He hated the carosel. It is sad when we try to do things JUST to make our kids happy, and they end up hating it- and I got sick on it. I just don't want him to miss out on any fun that he could have.
Zoo Boise was much smaller than hogle zoo. but I liked that there were so many animal playground equipment and statues. I think Jackson enjoyed it more because there were things he could do
Climbing up to this slide you see the monkeys and then slide down.
There were all sorts of displays where the kids got to be part of the animal. Very fun!Jackson loved this minature tiger. He would walk around it, bounce up and down and laugh and then climb on it and just enjoy himself. I might just pay to go back to the zoo purely to let him love this tiger again. The tigers were definitely my favorite part.

I must be a bad mom because I've never taken Blake to the zoo! Loved looking at your pictures and reading about what you are doing.
