Our trip to the zoo

Zachary is on spring break this week and I wanted him to do some fun stuff while he was off. Jason and I took him to the New Orleans zoo on Wednesday. (Thanks Linda for watching Addison all day!!) It's a pretty nice zoo and the weather was great so we had a really good time. Our first stop was to see the elephants and Zach got to pet one. Not the best picture of him but you get the idea.

We took the wagon thank goodness because there was a lot of walking. Z's little legs would have given out half way through it.
Obviously I'm not going to put a picture of all the animals we saw but this little turtle made us laugh. Apparently he was really comfortable stretched out like that. Either that or he was stuck.Zachary wanted to ride the carousel. Of all the animals he could have picked from to ride on he chose the bench. Go figure.
His favorite was the Safari Ride pictured behind him. I went on it with he and Jason the first time. It was pretty lame by our standards but Zachary thought it was so cool. He kept saying he wanted to go again so he and Jason went a second time.
He also wanted to go on the "train." it was basically a bunch of carts being pulled around the zoo. Gave us a chance to sit down for a while though. Here he is making his "choo choo" sound.How would you like to meet this guy in the jungle.
The Orangutans were my favorite. They were the most animated of all the animals (which is to say they were awake). Some family off to the side were throwing sticks at them. Not to hurt them but to make them think they were throwing food. This was the Orangutans reaction. Kinda looks like the bottom one was given them the finger. I wouldn't blame him. There was one other guy that was walking around tearing up a cardboard box and dragging a tshirt behind him. When I saw him I realized it was Jason and made him put his shirt back on. ;-)I wanted to stick these two pictures in here. Addison is wearing her first bubble smocked outfit. I think she looks precious. Just wish Z's eyes would have been open!
