1. we spend a verrrry long time watching the buses load and unload the children who are coming to the zoo for a field trip
2. we stop at every single water fountain.
3. we practice our loud voices. As in "HI, BROWN BEAR!!!!!!" or "BYE, DUCKS!!!!!!!" (which were really flamingos) or in the Panda enclosure where the sign says Panda's need quiet: "Shhhh! SHHHH! SHHHHHHHHH!" with his fingers to his lips.
4. We identify the Daddy, Mommy, Owen and Elliot animals in all the animal enclosures, like this one in the giraffe pen:
5. we try to climb into the zebra enclosure to share our zebra animal crackers ( no I didn't get a picture of that, but this is the moment before):
6. We get very excited about piles of poop, thanks to Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Elmer who gave Elliot this book for Christmas.

Wow, Elliot. it sounds like you had a wonderful day out with mom! You really need to thank her for taking you and all of the patience it exercised!!! What fun. It looks like the animals were beautiful!! Maybe someday Aunt Carol will be able to join you! The poop book sounds fantastic. Oh, my goodness, who thinks up all of these wonderful books! I could be making millions if I could just get my brain in gear to do it!!

You paint a clear picture of an eventful day at the Zoo with Elliot. I find it charming, intertaining,& informative (especially the poop hunt - glad the book could of of help:-). Love it! GG
You know, if you go into most of the gift shops at the zoo, you can buy a blank journal made out of recycled elephant poop! He might like that!
What a great day at the zoo! It sounds as though it was an exciting adventure, and as always, a learning experience. Elliot is so enthralled by everything - what a joy!
Such fun to see things through their eyes!
Love these posts!
