Happy Boy at the Zoo

Thanks to a work party...Benjamin got his first visit to the Hogle Zoo. He was fascinated by all the animals. The first we saw were the elephants. Mike took several pictures and he will post them later.
There were also sea lions, polar bears, birds of all kinds including a golden eagle that we got close to, giraffes, grizzly bears, tigers, lynx, black swans, crocodiles, bats, sand cats, orangutans, gorillas, rhinoceros, gila monster and other lizards and those are all the names of the animals I can remember. There were many more. I think that the elephants and sea lions were Benjamin's favorite.
Throughout the zoo there were several Lego exhibits. I thought there were pretty cool.
 
Earlier this year summer I took Benjamin on a merry-go-round, so it was Mike's turn to go with him. Below is a video of him whipping by.
 
Right before lunch Benjamin got a snake painted on his arm. After it was painted on, he tried to pick it up off his arm. It was quite amusing for us.
Poor little guy was exhausted after running around the zoo he took a nap on the drive home.

The Spoon

The spoon...a fun concept for this little guy. It's a stick with a round little bowl on the end that will scoop up food.

Here we are trying to learn how feed ourselves (really it's just Benjamin learning to feed himself). Sometimes the food makes it into his mouth and lots of times it dribbles down his chin.
