spring zoo visit...

max and i took a trip to the new zoo a few fridays ago.
the weather was nice but not too hot, so the animals were pretty active.

max with the emus.  he thought they were funny and kinda smelly.

we saw so many peacocks.  they were all about showing off that day.




they were so loud, but so beautiful when the would spread their feathers.
max thought it was hilarious that they would shake their bottoms when they spread their feathers!

his favorite of the day was the otters.
we went back 2 more times to watch them swim around!

my little penguin!

the penguins were very active the first time we stopped by.
i think he was trying to find them in the water this time...and was pretty bummed that they were out.



and of course a trip to the zoo isn't complete without a picture on the lion statue!

we took a ride on the carosel before we left.

we ended our day with a picnic at the park across from the zoo!
i love days like this with my favorite little guy!
