Lions and Tigers and Bears . . . Oh My!

Connor went to the zoo for the first time when he was about 4 months old. My guess is that he doesn't remember much of that experience, even though we have some pictures that prove he was there. He loves watching animals - whether they're on TV, in a book, or right in front of him. The forecast was a day of perfect weather, so Aunt Tin decided he just might like another trip to the zoo. She was right. It was her day to watch Connor, so after Daddy dropped him off, she loaded him into her car and headed to the zoo. At one point, she called me at work and told me he absolutely LOVED the giraffes. He kept pointing to them while babbling away.
Some other favorites of his was watching the polar bears swim and the monkeys swing around. When visiting the monkeys, one of the baby monkeys happened to be having a temper tantrum, and ran over to sit in a corner and sulk. I'd be willing to bet Connor was taking notes for future use.

They also took a train ride around the zoo. Connor was quite anxious while waiting for train to arrive. Once onboard, he was just as enthralled with the ride as he was watching all the animals.
