Nannie took us for a trip to Zoo Atlanta today and the boys had a great time! We saw flamingos, hogs, giraffes, zebras, gorillas, a huge lizard, orangutans, turtles, tons of exotic birds, and lots of snakes. I'm not sure why, but the boys were looking forward to seeing the snakes the most. That was all they talked about this morning. Aiden loved looking at the informational plates to read how old and how long the animals were. We got a few pics in between looking at the animals.
Ty did not like this gorilla statue, we had to reassure him that it was not real. After he dried his tears, I managed to get a pic, but he didn't want to get too close.
The actual gorillas were very entertaining. We saw this one eating and some others playing; they were running and wrestling with each other. Their size and speed were very impressive.
The boys enjoyed the petting zoo, where they were able to touch goats and sheep. The animals were so accustomed to interaction with people and children, they were very nonchalant to everyone.
After we saw all the animals, the boys played on the playground. They had a huge 4 seat see-saw that Aiden loved. He could control the whole thing with other kids on it. Then they went for a ride on the carousel, and they had a blast riding on it. Aiden waved at us each time as he rode by.
