The Zoo outside of the aquarium

FINALLY we've gotten Landon out of the aquarium at the zoo!!  We took him a couple of times when he's had time off of school.  We were walking through the aquarium the first day and a nice lady came up and told us that they were closing it for renovations for 6 MONTHS!!  Initially, I thought "oh crap!" but then I got to thinking about how it might be a chance to get Landon into other things.  All he's ever wanted to see was the aquarium.  

We went two different days, the first day was me, Landon, Sydney, and Heidi.  The second time we went we brought Theresa instead of Heidi and Megan and Nevin joined us.  We had a lot of fun exploring new things.  Landon was kind of hesitant at first, but warmed up to the jungle and the sea lions.  He even liked feeding the koi fish and swans. :) 

 Day 1 was spent in the aquarium:

Landon is in between the size of a King penguin and an Emperor penguin. :)

In the jungle, with Landon's "smile". :)

Landon in front of the waterfall.  He liked it till he got wet. (You can't really see the water...it's behind the bamboo.)

In the jungle on Day 2 with Theresa.  We were trying to find him some fish and they had a pond over the side of the bridge with a few fish in it.

Megan and Nevin found some fish too.

We went to visit the sea lions.  I thought maybe Landon would like how they barked.  Thankfully, they were active and one of them was throwing a toy around.  Landon enjoyed watching him throw it around and chase after it.

Nevin was a wiggle worm and wasn't all that interested.

So he found a bench to sit on.

Now Landon loves the zoo.  Every time he has a day off from school he wants to go there. :)  He tells me "Mama...zoo...Monday" (that's normally the day he has off from school).  He's a smart little booger.
