Woodland Park Zoo

A few weekends ago we took a trip up to Seattle to go to the zoo. Cameron loves animals and he really enjoyed it. We saw lots of cool animals like zebras, giraffes, hippos, monkeys, tigers, etc.
Here is Cameron watching the Komodo Dragon. These are really strange creatures. There were signs saying not to hit or bang on the glass because it would upset them. Well, Cameron loves to knock on things, so I kept having to stop him from knocking on the glass. I dont need a giant dragon leaping throgh the glass at my son lol.
These monkeys were hilarious! There were two of them, at least that we could see, and they started out really quiet. Then after a minute they started making tons of noise. They almost sounded like they were having an argument. Their necks would swell up and then they would go off on eachother. It was really funny to watch. Cameron thought it was so amazing. I pat my hand on the ground when I want him to come sit by me. And he started doing that like he wanted the monkey to come to him. It was so cute.
About half way through the zoo he was all tuckered out. It was past nap time and he just fell asleep in his stoller. So Bret and I kept walking around and looking at what we hadnt seen. Then we realized we still hadnt seen the farm animals, which are his favorite! Luckily just before we got to them he woke up all on his own.
He loves farm animals! As soon as he saw them he got so excited and went running to them. He really enjoyed petting the goats. He has a fascination with tails on animals, so he kept wanted to grab their tails and when he did they would flick their tails upward and he thought that was hilarious.
Oh the chickens... This is one of his favorite animal noises to make. I wish I had a video of how excited he was about them. He was in the stroller when he saw them and he started pointing and getting excited so we let him out and he took off running towards them. He was in heaven.
At the end of our zoo trip we decided to Cameron a little souvineer. He loves lions as well, he likes making the "roar" noise. So we decided it was a fitting stuffed animal to get him. He is now in love with that lion. He sleeps with it and he carries it around the house roaring.
It was a really fun family trip!
