The Zoo

Long time no post - so sorry, man, all this working and school and Jayce I kind of just forget about the blog until I see other post something on Facebook about their blogs.

So this blog is a little old, but this is when Grandma, Jayce, and I went to the zoo on my mom's spring break. Spring break was the last week of April this year so it was like a kick off to the summer season. Since then we have been so busy with a variety of activities.

I was a little shocked to find that Jayce was not as fond of the animals on this trip as he used to be. I need to take him back and see how he will react again. I am hoping that the animal books we have been looking through and learning names from will help. By the end of the day he had settled down and would even walk around instead of ride the stroller of have us carry him. A sure sign that he is terrified.

He was so cute, we would tell him the "scientific" name of the animal and he would repeat it. For some reason the Mangabey was his favorite animal. In others words - the monkey.




Our first stop the bird cages - again, the terrified look - it could be because the bird was at his level and was rather loud. Since then he has had "interaction" with birds at the house. We have a bay window and he sits in the window and watches the birds in the bushes outside the window. There is a family of cardinals and he loves to watch the papa bird, mama bird, and baby bird eat dinner.



The anthill.


Sliding down the tongue of the frog. We did just about every slide there - he LOVES to slide!


On the train, another favorite part - he is in love with trains as well.


Mumu and Jayce on the train!
