Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!


2007 / 2008


Look how much my baby has changed...I suppose he's really no longer a baby.



This weekend I took my second trip to the zoo with Caleb. We met Felicia there for a full day of fun. Since it was Earth Day there were a lot of demonstrations and enrichment activities for the animals. We started with the penguins. They are always so much fun because they are right there in your face and they move around a lot.



We then explored the world of gorillas and bears. Caleb was more concerned about the ball that the bear was playing with than the animal itself. Although, he did begin to say "bear" when I encouraged him a little more. Gorilla was more than a mouthful to try to say. Felicia helped Caleb feed the Lorikeets and the billy goats. I'm not sure Caleb knew what to think about that. He wanted to pet the bird, which would bite if he touched it. And he didn't seem to want to touch the goat, rather the goat wanted to eat his shirt.





Sunday afternoon was so lovely that Caleb spent it helping his Daddy wash my car. I think ended up washing more of the driveway than the car. And, of course, he was completely soaked!

Never heard of a Lorikeet - sounds exotic! And such a big boy washing the car! If we ever washed our car, I'm sure Andrew would love to help. :-)
