Zoo Trip - Mother's Day 2011

Our zoo trip on Mother's Day was a lot of fun. It started a little rocky with some delays on our end... but we met up with my parents, Jon's parents and Andrew, had a nice lunch and then set off. Liam looked at the map and told us exactly what he wanted to see :)

We started with the birdies... which led to the theme of the day... awareness and pointing! Liam really looked, looked and looked some more at all the animals. He really took everything in!

We looked at some monkeys...

We looked for lots of animals... Liam kept asking where the polar bear went (he was pacing in and out of his den)
... Not to worry, Liam pointed him out again when he saw him come back!
We looked at some moose

By far, Liam's favorite animal of the day was the elephants!!!

Liam signed over and over again... ELEPHANT!!! This was especially cool since he just learned that sign the day before looking at some video and books of different animals. We really have no idea why he latched on to that sign... but boy does he know what an elephant is!

Very excited to see the elephants... so happy!

We got to pet some goats...

And he headed home with some souvenirs... Thanks Grandparents! He loves all his new stuffed animals and his new zoo book all about animals!
What a lovely Mother's Day spent with the family!
