The gift that keeps on giving!

Yesterday we took Bear Cub to the zoo, courtesy of the annual passes my dear sister gave us. We all had a blast! We met up with our good friend, Matt (or "Uncle Matt" to BC) and enjoyed a fairly uncrowded day at the zoo. We told BC on Saturday evening that we would be going the next day. He said "zoo" for the rest of the night and just about the whole trip there the next day. He was really excited to go! He is an animal lover, so he's basically amazed by every creature there. We were able to get really close up and personal with a giraffe this time, which was awesome for us all! Wow...the tongue on a giraffe is REALLY long!! BC also loved the walk-through aquarium and tried to catch every fish that swam by. Experiences like this are so great for him -- you can just see the learning happening right before your eyes!

The last time we went to the zoo, BC was all about the trash cans and soda machines...this time...the ROCKS. I would never have noticed how many rocks were there, but thanks to BC, we were all well informed of every "rah" in the park. Truly amazing what can be done with rocks! BC might just take after his Uncle Matt -- who really is a geologist!

Ahhhhh....the joy and wonder of rocks! ;) Enjoy the photos!

Ready to take on the zoo! He walked most of the day at the park...while Daddy pushed an empty stroller!

Check out the giraffe's tongue! BC just about got eaten up by that thing!

Trying to touch the fish as they swam past.

Now that's the look of pure amazement - I love it!

Just hanging out with the fellas!
