The Zoo

Caleb's Poppa wanted to take him to the zoo after hearing Caleb's 'animal' sounds. It was pretty cute. He wanted Caleb to see a real monkey. It was a fun day. I think we were more excited than Caleb was but he still got pretty into it. I used to go to the LA zoo as a little girl so it was fun to go back and remember all the animals. The coolest part was seeing the kangaroos (my favorite animal as a child) the joey was in it's mother's pouch sticking its little head out. It was so cute! I've always been kind of obsessed with kangaroos and how the babies stay inside the pouch for awhile after being born. Can you guess what Caleb's favorite was? The gorillas and chimps. Every time the chimps squeaked and squawked Caleb would make his monkey sound. He couldn't take his eyes off the Gorillas.

Let the adventure begin

They are in their 'zones'/have no idea I'm taking their picture either
aw. there we go. two out of four. pretty good.
i managed to get in a picture. me and my little guy!
Caleb and his Nana and Poppa. I managed to get one with my dad's least 'fake' smile and Caleb looking at the camera. It was tough... (Shall I even mention the hat...a Nani hat of course, monkey on the front, Caleb's fav animal)

Can't stop staring at those gorillas.






A plus side to having kids. We get to be kids ourselves and pretend we're doing things for our children when really, it's all for us. Going to the zoo 'for Caleb' and enjoying it for ourselves. It was a fun day :) Thanks Dad.
