A Trip to the Zoo

We recently went on our first family trip to the zoo. Ben seemed to enjoy looking at the animals, especially the monkeys, giraffes, and chickens. He has been really into making animal noises and has a lot of animal sounds he likes to say while we read his books, so we thought this was the perfect time for his first zoo experience. The zoo also has a train and Ben loved his train ride. He recently learned that trains say, "Choo choo," so that was perfect as well. Besides a close and scary encounter with a llama that got a bit to close for his comfort, which led to a high pitched scream we had never heard before, the day was a big success! He had so much fun, he was asleep before we got out of the parking lot, not even having the energy to eat the Goldfish cracker in his hand! Now that is a sign of a big day!
