Lions and tigers and bears...oh my!

Saturday August 7, Jack took his first trip to the zoo. It was also his first time on the metro and first time in D.C. We had a great time despite the heat and Jack didn't seem to mind at all.

Getting ready to leave


On the metro








Notice the elephant behind us?


Just chillin'


I want in on the action




Ahh, this is the life










Jack touching a cow


Not too sure about it




Metro ride home

I can't wait to take Jack again when it's cooler and he can enjoy it more. He loves to look at everything and loves being outside, but it was hard for him to see some of the animals that were further away (like the big cats). 

All in all we had a great time as well as a great weekend. I loved having visitors; hopefully we can see you again soon!

How funny that your zoo just got a male lion too. He is huge and beautiful! Ours is still young I think...he was smaller and didnt have a huge mane yet. They were sleeping and hard to get pictures of. Oh and ya I was not kidding about not having summer! lol. Sweatshirts in august! Crazy huh? I NEED summer!!! Unfortunately it's not gonna happen :( Great pictures! I'm sure Jack will enjoy it even more next time you go!

Looks like you had lots of fun! I can't wait to take our Jack to the zoo...although we are waiting til it cools off a little more.

To answer your question, Jack loves Baby Mum Mums. We bought the Veggie kind yesterday (they're so delicious), but he also likes the plain. I think he prefers the biter biscuits, but they're so messy. So we try to stick with the Mum Mums :)
