It was Kian's first trip there, and I think he really enjoyed it. We now have a Family Membership for the year courtesy of Kian's doting grandmother, so anyone who wants to come to the Zoo with us just let us know! We plan to go a lot. :)
Here are some pictures of the animals we saw:
Flamingos!
Gorillas!
Zebras!
Lions!
and Giraffes!
When we stopped to eat Kian got to choose an animal shaped lunch box.
I would have probably picked the cheetah, but when mom asked Kian which one he wanted, he immediately and without hesitation chose the bear. He didn't change his mind later, either. He knew what he wanted. A simple enough concept I guess, but for some reason I was really impressed by it!
Before I know it he will be making all sorts of choices about what he wants and doesn't want. This moment brought home to me how much his own person Kian already is. (You can sort of see the bear lunch box open on the table in the picture immediately below:)

On our way back to the entrace, we passed by Santa Claus and his reindeer. We were even able to take a picture with him! (I'll insert a link to the zoo's website when I can find the photo number.)
Here are Kian and his grandmother, checking out the reindeer:
Thank you grandmother, it was a really fun day!!!
