The kids and I find ourselves at the zoo ridiculously often. Noah knows it like his own backyard. He is particularly taken with the peacocks. Of all the animals in this world class zoo, he adores the free-roaming fowl. Go figure. His other favourite site at the zoo is the bulldozers at the future marine exhibit. He'll plop down beside the chain link construction fence and watch the diggers, dump trucks, mixers, etc for ages.
Bulldozers and diggers and dust, oh my!
I warned Noah not to get too close to this group of peacocks so he immediately sat down (in the middle of the footpath mind you) and watched them until they were out of sight. If you know Noah you will agree that the child doesn't just "sit down". Ever. He must really love those birds!
On the way home...the zoo is a fabulous way to wear him out.
