ZOO

I love going to the zoo, I always have. But now there is an added pleasure; Coop. He is at that age where he is so interested and fascinated by everything. Along with some wives in the office, we hit up the Indy Zoo and had a blast.

Coop got his face painted with a dolphin and absolutely loved it. I told him to sit real still while the guy painted it on and boy did he sit still. The kid didn't move an inch the whole time. After, he kept pointing at his face and saying "Dolphin, see!" Next time we go, we're doing the full face lion!
The wives at the dolphin show. I'd say it was comparable to Sea World, just a lot shorter.
(And don't mind the giant in this picture....me! Seriously, I didn't think I was that much taller!)

One of the things I loved about this zoo was how hands on you could be. Coop got to pet a shark, an elephant, and feed a giraffe. What a cool experience for a kid. Heck, what a cool experience for me!
This was his face pretty much the whole time. He kept saying, "Look at this! Look at this!"
The only downfall of the day was not having Daddy there with us.

What a perfect day!

I wanna take Kate to the zoo this summer too...she's never been. It looks like Coop really enjoyed it! Love the face painting! Enjoy your trip to Utah!
