Here is the tiger.....it's kind-of hard to see because it was pretty far away. But at least we spotted it.
My cute little Jacob. What a sweetheart!
The elephant was pretty cool to see. And there was a baby elephant.....and everyone knows that seeing baby animals always makes the zoo more enjoyable.
The penguins were hiding. And none of them were swimming that day. Total bummer! (but they were still cute).
This giraffe was licking the building. Boy, they have some long tongues. It was kind-of gross. I'm posting the lesser gross picture..... :) You're welcome.
The Peacock was beautiful. Unfortunately we arrived just as it was closing its feathers. But it's a pretty amazing animal.
I watched in amazement. And of course I was crying through the whole ordeal and when the little baby was safely with its parents again, I was pretty much a mess. Just imagine a grown woman (well, that's debatable) falling apart between the ape house and the snack building at the zoo. Yep, that was me. But it was the best part for me (except spending time with Jacob, of course).
After we saw all of the animals, we stopped at a little table and ate some snacks.
We were both tired and were about to head home, when at the last minute we decided to ride the train. I'm really glad we did it because I think that was Jacob's favorite part. We took this picture ourselves. Not too bad, huh?
It was a fun day and I'm really glad we decided to go.
And he took this one of me. A budding photographer in the making.....

I'd like to think of this next picture as a little geese family.....mommy, daddy, and baby. It was actually really amazing to watch. One of the geese started walking from one patch of grass to another (with a cement pathway in between) expecting the baby to follow, but the baby started running into the crowds of people, getting a little lost. The mommy goose (I'm SURE it was the mommy) started squawking really loud and then the daddy goose joined in and it was kind-of intense. The poor little baby goose just couldn't find its way with all the people in the way, so another set of geese came over and surrounded the baby until it was safely with the other two.
