Monkeys and Tigers and Lemurs, Oh My!

Yesterday Cole, Liam and I were able to go to the zoo in Idaho Falls. I was really excited to take Liam this year. We went last year but they really don't get much out of it at 8 months old. We went and saw all the animals and our favorites were the monkeys, the ducks, another bird that was talking to us and the pigs. Liam was trying to speak to the animals in their native languages, and he got most of the roars and grunts right, but for a few he had the wrong dialect.

Liam and Cole at the zoo! Liam didn't want to smile or look at the camera. He was too interested in the animals!
Liam's least favorite zoo experience. He did not like sitting on the tiger!

We all loved watching the monkeys. They were the most active animals in the zoo!

Liam and Cole in the petting zoo. Liam was fine as long as dad was holding him and he didn't have to touch the goats.

It was so fun for us to be able to spend the morning together doing something relaxing. I love my husband and son so much and am so excited for this holiday weekend coming up! We are going to have so much fun together!

How fun to go to the zoo with Liam! It's so much fun to see them become more and more interested the older they get. It's so much better to bring my own kids and watch their reactions than it was to go when I was little. The pictures are so fun! Thanks for sharing!

He does look so intense like he's taking it all in and understanding it all. Looks like a fun family event!
