Trip to the Zoo

We weren't able to do anything special for Corbin for the day of his birthday, but promised him that when it got warm after his birthday, that we would take him to the zoo. Things were so nice that we decided that Jeremy should take a day off and we could go during the week.

Grandma Kathy was here from Oregon, so we decided to make it a family trip to the zoo.



When we went to the elephant portion, the trainers were feeding the elephants and having them perform tricks. We were pretty impressed.


We were also able to go on the Carousel at the Zoo. Corbin loved it. Here is a picture of everybody that rode. Spencer wasn't too sure about the carousel, so he wasn't in the picture.


We had an interesting experience at the Primate house. We were pushing Corbin through and he was watching a primate of some kind eat some food. All of a sudden, the primate came up to the glass and was watching Corbin like he was the animal behind the glass. It kind of scared him when the primate moved so suddenly, but then he just chilled and watch the animal watching him back.



Corbin was so good through the whole thing, especially considering that he didn't get more than 10 minutes of a morning nap and no afternoon nap. It did wear him out though. He was asleep before we had been on the road for less than 5 minutes heading home. What a great day for a great kid!!!
