The Zoo

Up close and personal with the zoo's welcoming committee.

Jeff and I went first to see the new Geico Gecko exhibit.

It's was actually better than I expected. We found all five geckos and had fun with the trivia blocks around the enclosure.

This guy left breakfast and came to down to peek right back at us.

 

Creepy, eh? But not as bad as this.

We went to play on the tree house (we never stop when someone else is with us.) 

Jeff was having fun climbing around-had it all to himself.

Then he called me in to show me something cool. Cool until...

 I'm a believer in letting kids develop the skill of figuring out things for themselves. With a little prompting, he was able to deduce that this nifty little contraption wasn't the 'stocks' he'd heard about from pilgrim's day, but something else entirely... Never saw the kids move so fast!
