Henry's first trip to the Zoo!

Today was so much fun. And I'm pretty sure Henry had fun too, although it's kind of hard to tell when you take a 15-month old to the zoo since he can't really say "hey this is SO fun!" But I'm guessing all of his pointing, laughing, and "what's that?" meant he loved it too.  It was a beautiful day (let's ignore the insane wind and focus on the sun!) and we met a handful of my friends and their kiddos for the afternoon. Our group spent a few hours walking around, playing, and snacking. We'd never been to the Phoenix Zoo and after going I think we will probably get an annual pass next fall. There weren't too many animals out today, but we did meet a huge rainbow-bummed baboon and some silly monkeys. We also saw tigers, giraffes, and an elephant, and pet some goats in the petting zoo. All in all, tons of fun. Here are some photos from our day:

  9. My folks are out in PHX and I really loved the zoo lights they have during the holidays. I haven't been since I was pregnant, but I wish we had something similar here in NYC... guess I'll just have to bring my girls to visit grandma this December!

  21. I had thought you had said in a previous post that you thought zoos were sad?

    "Z. Zoo animal: none. Zoos make me really sad."

    1. Hi Anon,

      Wow, good memory! I've said that on Twitter too (pretty recently) and was curious if anyone would remind me of this. They do make me sad but I thought it would be fun for Henry so we went, and like I said, I think he had a good time.
