The trip wasn't a long one, as it was pretty hot & humid outside. Just enough to see a few animals and take Mav into the indoor exhibits. We had fun holding him up to the aquariums and tanks to see the reptiles and fish. He really couldn't see anything from the stroller anyways.
Our zoo is the BEST! I've been to zoos in other cities, and we are so fortunate to have a world class zoo that is also free. Yep--absolutely free! Well, there are some paid exhibits, but it's still cheap. For example, one really awesome exhibit is the Stingrays (and horseshoe crabs) pool. It costs $3 to sit and pet the stingrays for as long as you'd like. Sometimes you get lucky and happen to be there when it's feeding time. They don't schedule their feedings because they don't want the rays to lose interest in approaching peoples' hands.
Waiting in line to pet the rays. :)
I tried leaning Maverick over and putting his hand in the water. But he started crying--I got so excited when a stingray came over that I squished his innards on that concrete pool trying to get his arm deep enough. So he just watched after that. Ha!
This is Maverick in his safari outfit. He did really awesome the entire time. I don't know if he is just at that magical age, or what but Maverick isn't a fussy kid at all. Very easy going and easily entertained. He gets that from his mother.
They boys trying to figure out where to go next.
Just as we were about to leave, a lady said she would take our picture because it was Mav's first trip to the zoo. A lovely family photo--we're all hot and sweaty, ha ha! And someone pointed out that it looks like that little girl on the sign behind us is picking through my hair.
Maverick playing leap frog.
Ever feel like someone is watching you? Dun-dun. Dun-dun. Dun-dun.
