The Zoo

I have been so excited to go to the zoo because they have a new area with a polar bear.

We finally got to go...Kevin and Trey even came with us.

It was Cooper's first time to the zoo.

I think he liked it.

We saw SO many animals.

It took me all of dinner to tell dad every animal we saw.

This big gorilla just sat and stared at us.

Mom said that he kept scratching his eyebrow.

Mom and Jamie were talking about how gorillas freak them out a bit!

I was so excited when we got to the new area.

It's called Rocky Shores and 

IT IS AWESOME!

I could hardly contain my excitement and I ran back and forth between looking at the animals and trying to find mom to make sure she was seeing them!

There were 2 seals and a sea lion.

The sea lion was so big!

When we went to see the polar bear, she wasn't there.

I was pretty sad.

We decided to go to a bird show and then check back on her later.

I didn't really want to be at the bird show.

It was a rough few minutes between me and mom...

But...

I finally sat down and it was SO cool!

I told mom later that it was one of my favorite things at the zoo!

Cooper just crawled around and got dirty!

After the bird show, we went back to see the polar bear.

There was a moment when we thought she still wasn't out.

I was sad!

But then...we found her...and she is SO cool!

After we saw all the animals...we headed for my favorite thing at the zoo...

the train.

Cooper was so tired he couldn't even stay awake till we got there.

After the train, we got to play in the park area for a short while.

I got mad when mom said we had to go....it was my 4th rough moment.

Even though I had a few hard times at the zoo. 

I really had a fun time and I talked about the zoo the rest of the day!

I hope we can go back again...and this time I'm gonna have fun no matter what!
