First Trip to the Zoo

We took Jackson to the Columbia Zoo, hoping that he may actually get something out of it as he is still so young.  It was obvious that Jackson is a huge fan!!  If the animal was colorful, moved around often or was big, he was all smiles and was pointing.  Sadly, the monkeys and the large cats were all sleeping in the heat of the day, but Jackson really enjoyed all the animals that he did get to see!







The giraffes were his favorite animal to visit! He got to pet them and feed them lettuce.
  
  


This ostrich was very active as she kept pacing and snapping at all the people.  She was guarding her newly laid eggs that were about 30 feet in front of the fence.  Jackson even managed to point out the zebra standing under a tree towards the back of the pen.




He also enjoyed feeding the goats and llamas....that is until the llama nipped him a little bit.  He got over that very quickly and wanted to feed and pet them again!  The tricky part for dad was trying to keep Jackson from feeding himself as well!  It's probably a good thing that Boosie's food is never available for Jackson to sample. Haha





Those two blobs to the left of the window are two massive brown bears.







Watching the seals and seal lions!

We can't wait to go back next time!

  1. Giraffe tongues are so gross! But a baby fist in a giraffe tongue is pretty cute.
