We have passes that allow us into the water park as well as the zoo, which also have a few extra perks- the ones we use the most are touching the sting rays and riding the rides. Jake is just barely tall enough to ride the kiddie rides, so late this summer he experienced "carnival" type rides for the first time. We weren't sure if he liked them or not during the rides, but he cried when we pulled him off, so he must have enjoyed it.
We do know, however, that Jake does NOT like the merry-go-round. I'm not sure why, but every time we pass it, he points and gets excited. However, every time we drag him on, the poor kid is as nervous as can be.
For how much Jake loves running around, he does GREAT in his stroller for up to 3 hours or so at the zoo! It's fun that this summer he started noticing the animals, and even knows what noises a handful of them make. It is so fun to watch him learn, grow, and discover new things!
We typically go to the zoo about weekly, but now that I'm trying to get this baby girl to come, it's been more like 3 times a week! We speed-see a lot of it, stopping only when the animals are active. Lots and lots of walking, but unfortunately still no baby!
Jake's absolute favorite area of the zoo is the playground. It really is quite impressive. And unlike most other playgrounds, there's an area that's the perfect size for him.
We love the zoo- hopefully one of these days my water will break or contractions will start as we hurry through the exhibits! Either way, it's a great way to spend our mornings.
