Zoology

Jimmy and I took Evan to the zoo for the first time today.  We had so much fun!  I have to say, the San Antonio Zoo is an amazing place.  I have been to many different zoos and this one ranks up there as one of my favorites.  It has so many different species of animals and is so interactive.  It was such a fun way to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  It is so big we actually weren't able to finish walking the whole zoo.  But, that is okay - it just gives us an excuse to go back soon!  While we were there, Jimmy found out that they have a "Komodo Dragon Feeding" exhibit on Wednesdays.  I have a feeling Jimmy will be taking leave on a Wednesday in the near future and we will be making another trip!  Here are some pictures of our adventures.

 The pinkest flamingos I have ever seen.  They were making the funniest sounds which Evan loved!  He was imitating their sounds and "talking" back to them.  It was hilarious!

 Daddy and Evan watching the Flamingos

 The Spectacle Bear.  He gets his name from the white coloring around it's eyes which resembles eyeglasses.

 

A "baby" Komodo Dragon.  It was very big and scary looking for being a baby.  My baby is much cuter and cuddly!

 Evan watching the sharks in the Aquarium.  He enjoyed the Aquarium so much.  Jimmy carried him in the Baby Bjorn and he jumped up and down the whole time!

 Evan and me with a Rosemary plant in honor of our Aunt Rosemary :)

 Evan as a Butterfly.  This is my favorite picture!

Sorry Jimmy.  Your wingspan pales in comparison to that of a Condor. 

My favorite animal I saw today - a Capabara (aka HUGE Guinea Pig).

 Evan riding the Elephant!

And of course, an outing isn't complete unless Jimmy gets a frozen beverage.
