He really enjoyed the monkeys and the naked mole rats. The naked mole rats were set up with tubes for them to run through so Kenson could kind of chase after them as they ran. The koi pond and its fish were popular too. (We also experienced animal pottying and some hot and heavy turtle love but I'll skip the details.)
There were no tears and only a few moments of my-feet-are-stuck-in-cement and I'm-not-coming-any-closer. Days like that just make me wonder exactly what goes on in his little head. Imagine what it must be like to have such limited life experiences and then to go to a zoo where there are more animals in one place than you have ever seen before. Not only that, but most of the animals you have never heard of or seen even in a book or on television. It must be such a wonderfully weird experience

I miss that zoo! It's the perfect size for little kids.
Must've been quite the experience for Kenson.
He looks like he enjoyed it. I've heard that a lot of the kids are scared of animals.
Funny--my word verification is
donot--do not??
What a fun day!! I can't wait for all the firsts...
Yea,what fun! I've dreamed of the day I get to take Julie to the zoo. So many firsts...you and I are so priveledged to be the ones to introduces these little ones to all these exciting things!
Yes, Kristi, this zoo is a graet first zoo/little kids zoo. It's small enough to not be overwhelming with too many things to do/too much walking but it has enough animals and a good variety of animals too.
Sheri-I totally agree. Thinking of the firsts we would experience and how those first would be special compared to an American child's experience helped me when the wait seemed to drag on.
