Hogle Zoo!!!

We went with my dad and sister to the zoo this weekend!! I have not been there since I was like 8 or something! So I was pretty excited! Jaxon has been to the St. Louis Zoo... (which is one of the BEST zoos in the country) but of course he does not remember at all! He slept most of the time and was only about 2 months old! Haha
So this trip was pretty much his first time and it was REALLY FUN!!! We practiced animals noises all week in preparation! Elephant, tigers/lions, monkeys, and bears! ( I was kinda bummed there are no lions or bears)
Here are some pictures! Yes, I know I OVERLOAD my blog with pictures.. but how else will we remember right?? :) So if you don't wanna look through them all I don't blame ya! :)
He loved these monkeys! They sat right by the window and he was pretty excited about it!!
Probably the favorite of the day were the giraffes! We went in the building and got really close to them! Jaxon was full of "whoas" and "wows"!!! He was completly fascinated by them! As was I! I don't ever remember being so close to one.. they are sooooo cute and I love them!!!! I was making funny noises trying to get it to look at us! It worked! :) And leaned on over!
Mama and baby elephant! They were so cute! Jaxon liked them a lot too! In fact we got him a baby elephant stuffed animal to bring home! :)My dad and Stef with Jaxon!



Once we walked the whole zoo we took the little train ride!! It was short, sweet, and fun! Jaxon thought it was a vroom, vroom... guess we need to learn choo choo! :)
He was really good at spotting the animal when we would point at it! He crashed that night from all of the excitement and slept in until 9:15 this morning! Ah heaven! We had a fun weekend! Thanks dad!
