Oh yah....he loved those huge carps!! He would gaze at them FOREVER!! And when I told him that we need to move on, he told me to sit there with him!! Errmmm....fish...not very interesting....on a plate....maybe tasty!! *sigh*
Still staring at those fish....*sigh*.....he wanted to hold and kiss them but I had to tell him that they can't stay out of water...and he decided that the best thing was to hop in with them to give them a hug!! Hence no picture of that, I was trying to pull him back before he got into that tank!!!! He was serious!!
He went into the goat compound and thought they were cows....mini cows??? LOL Ok...there were lots of them goats and he wanted to chat them all up!! Probably asking them about their daily routine and food supply??? He does that with our dog too, would sit next to the dog and gestured about, chatting away, dog cared less...
I think those goats are really tame or pretty much so used to human contact that they didn't even flinched when Ethan approached them and hugged them *YICK* (oh yah, when he got to the car, he had a serious wipe down and change of clothes....somehow goat naturelle doesn't appeal to me)
Ethan had a hard time leaving the petting zoo but I told him he could ride the merry-go-round and have some lunch at MacDonald's if he would move along!!
He loved the merry-go-round but I was really queasy after the ride (motion sickness!). He was still holding on to his little monkey and was a little upset that monkey didn't get to sit on one of the rides! Ermmm....
Oh yah, at MacDonald's, got his first Happy Meal! Didn't even know that it came with a toy!! Hehehe...that's how often I eat there!! All in all, he had a great time at the zoo, he was really focused on what animals he (and monkey) wanted to see. He loves the sneezing pony(who sneezed a couple of times on him *geez*), the boring elephants (who just kept on chewing and chewing on grass??) and those huge pretty carps (which pretty much kept swimming)...oh well...
However I'm totally impressed with how Ethan behaved! He was very well-behaved, he listened and he followed my instructions! I was kinda afraid to let him "loose" in the zoo, afraid that for some unforeseen incident that he might run off, get himself caught in a cage where he was lunch for some hungry animal or something (ok...paranoia talking but still). But Ethan was so sweet and disciplined! He was more or less by my side and was even a little playful while still being careful! It was great, wouldn't mind bringing him back there again. We had a totally great day..:)

Zoo, how fun for kids! The Zoo here doesn't have much animal, have to go to Denver Zoo and they even have free days during Fall and Winter seasons.
Zoo's a great place if they have the children zoo. It's catered to them and chances are that's pretty much the only place they want to be. The rest of the exhibits are simply too boring for them coz it's just not interactive enough for them..hehehe..my little monkey was not even interested in REAL monkeys!! The zoo here is not that great but I guess sufficient for now..I heard the San Diego one is great!
ahhh... the beauty of kids... and the propensity of the things they can do :) :) Cherish those moments whilst we can... i guess... hehehe...
