The Zoo!

Today we took Cameron to the Zoo for the first time. He loves animals and he is finally really able to understand a bit more so we thought it would be about time to take a trip there. He had a lot of fun! And so did we. We had no idea but there was a walk or a marathon or something going on right on the streets outside the zoo so we couldnt drive up to the zoo like normal cause all the roads were closed... So we had to walk forever up a big old hill, for any of you who have been to Point Defiance you will know what hill I mean. It was exhausting but we got a good workout trying to get to the zoo.
The peacocks just roam around the zoo, so we followed this one for a bit. Cameron was fascinated by them. I think we scared him!

Cameron found a little friend while we were looking at the Meerkats. They looked at them together and talked a bit in their kid jibberish. Bret couldnt take his eyes off them, they just kept digging holes, deeper and deeper. These were funny animals to watch for sure.

We have discovered Cameron loves goats. He always points to them in his books and he loved feeding them today. They had a little petting zoo/ feeding area for goats and one sheep. We bought some of the pellets and let Cameron feed them. He really really enjoyed this. I think this was his favorite part of the whole day. The pellets were big enough he could hold it out and the goat would eat it right out of his fingers without our help. This goat was a hog, he wouldnt let any other goats in to eat. I really liked this part too.

My parents have parakeets so we arent strangers to them at all. Cameron is alway fascinated by them when we go over to my parents, and today there were 10x as many birds. He loved it! We tried to feed some but obviously they werent hungry because they werent coming to anyone to eat.

He really liked the fish.

Stylin' sunglasses. He looks like he is making a zoolander face, but he was just in the midst of eating.

He is getting really good at using his pointer finger so he was pointing at everything today. In this picture he was pointing to the sea lion swimming around in the water.

I took Cameron on his first Carosel ride! He laughed so much and had so much fun! Everytime we would go around and see Bret he would wave to him and then once we had passed him he would crack up. I love "firsts." Its so fun to see him get to experience things for the first time, we forget how fun the little things can be.

Here is Bret pushing Cameron down the hill on our hike back to the car. I swear it was probably about 1 1/2 miles that we walked!

Me and my sweet little boy, I love him so much!

I cant wait to go back to Zoo for a second time!
