Animal Friends

One of our Xmas presents was a renewal membership to Reid Park Zoo. We love having a membership there. It's a nice little family outing and with a membership it costs us nothing for a fun day out surrounded by animals and green plants.


When we got back in town from Iowa we went to the zoo with some of our friends. It's gorgeous weather here right now. Sunny and in the mid-70's. Perfect zoo and picnic weather! The tiger seemed to like it too. He was pacing back and forth in front of the window showing off. Peter got up close and personal!


He also got a close encounter with a monkey who was sitting up next to the glass. Peter was glued to this monkey for probably 10 minutes tapping on the glass and trying to press his face against it to see closer.


They had a bunch of animals out to pet. There were armadillos, lizards, snakes, and even a hedgehog. Peter didn't care though. He wanted to keep watching the monkey.


Peter and his friend Lillian liked to pet the elephant statue in front of the elephant exhibit.


They also liked to watch the giraffes. They are such cute kids!


One of Peter's favorite parts has always been the pond. They have flamingos, ducks and koi fish. We feed the ducks for a little bit and laugh as they fight over the food. Then we go around the corner and there's a frog statue. It has a button on it that shoots water from his mouth when you push it.


Peter pushed the button all by himself!! Usually mom has to, but this time he did it! He is getting to be such a big boy!
