Zoo trip

The train ride is a must at the zoo! Dallin doesn't quite love it yet; it's a little scary.

Feeding the lorikeets has become our new favorite thing to do at the zoo. Owen got braver this time and let one sit on his shoulder for just a minute before begging for me to get it off.

Dallin was very impressed with the lorikeets! They got a big "oooooh" from him.

He didn't quite understand why they were following him at first.

Still a little confused! Doesn't it like he is thinking, "What do you want from me?"

He is starting to get the hang of it now. The fear is melting away a little.

Now he is totally into the fun! No fear left!


By this time, he is so comfortable with the lorikeets that he can sit down right next to them and not pay a bit of attention to them. He was more interested in the food; probably wondering if it was something he would like :)

Dallin went crazy over the goats! He kept saying "ooooh" and pointing at them. He walked to each one checking them all out and shrieking the whole way. It was hilarious!


I love that he was not afraid of them. He loves animals, but he thinks all animals bark like a dog. I know what you are thinking; we had a little problem with proper animal identification with Owen a while back. I promise it's not my fault!

Exactly whose fault is it then Cathy? Hum! You're responsible for teaching these kids important things like animal noises!!!
