A Day at the Zoo

We got a family zoo pass from my in-laws for Christmas and it has been so much fun to go at different times this summer.  The pass is great because we can just go for a couple of hours in the morning and be home for Landon's afternoon nap without feeling like we wasted our money by not staying all day.


Landon really likes it this year.  


He loves looking at the animals and playing on the slides and animal statues.  


The carousel is lots of fun too!



Our zoo also has a butterfly exhibit during the summer which Landon really likes.  

Butterfly lands on Landon's shoulder
A big butterfly on his hat!
He isn't a huge fan of them landing on him, but usually he doesn't know until I point it out to him.  

Peaking up at the prairie dog exhibit
I love that he is able to tell his grandparents about the zoo! He will tell them the animals he saw and the fun things that happened to us (like going down the slide or butterflies landing on mommy's arm and his hat)!

Going through the tunnel to see the prairie dogs
  The zoo definitely benefits Landon more than Blake at this point, but Blake has been a good sport every time!


Next summer Blake will probably be a bit more interested in the animals too! 
 It is fun that we have a zoo so close and is easily accessible to us at anytime!
