Zoo Visit

Ever since summer camp at the zoo, Collin has wanted to go back.  He talked about it a little at the end of the summer and then dropped it until about two weeks ago.  He regularly asked when we could go back because he wanted to see the snakes and the meerkats.  Finally, last weekend, we did not have football games anymore and not much schedule that Saturday morning. 

We waited for Grandma H and then headed to the zoo.  As soon as we arrived and Collin got a map, he took off.  He stopped at the birds first, looked around and then said "next" before Grandma H or I had time to look at everything in the cage.  The sea lions were next....Yep, he looked and then quickly said "next" as he walked away headed to the Meerkats.  We finally got him to slow down...only because it started to rain when we were looking at the meerkats.

Looking for the Elephants

Showing me where we need to go next

He loved looking at the elephants and especially watching one of them poop.  That made his day to point that out.  He wanted the elephant to get in the water and was disappointed when he did not.  We continued to walk around at a tiny bit slower pace checking the animals out.  He stayed a long time watching the monkeys swing around in there habitats.  Oh, that was the other really cute thing was he would walk up to the animals and say, "this is the bird habitat" or "there is the monkey in his habitat".  He must have learned about this in zoo camp.
