Our first trip to the polar bear, he was just walking around his 'haus'.
After the polar bear, we set off to see other animals but Karsten got excited to see the elephant statue. He calls the elephant a 'payant'.
Then we went into the Lorakeet's cage. They were just finishing feeding time so the birds were flying all around and getting really close to us. What we don't have a picture of is the zookeeper taking one of these birds and setting in on my head. It took all of my willpower not to try to bat it off my head - that was my first reflex. Ewwww. Karsten was just watching with wide eyes!
We visited the deer in the petting zoo part and it was a huge hit. Karsten was tentative at first, but then he had so much fun feeding the deer.
He got such a kick out of the deer taking food from him - so cute.
So excited!
Then it was time for our picnic lunch. Since it was a bit chilly outside we headed into the main building to enjoy our lunch. Once Karsten saw all the other kids sitting on chairs, he didn't want to sit in his stroller, he had to sit on a chair like the other kids.
Since we were near the polar bear again we had to have another visit. This time he was swimming - it was mesmerizing to watch him swim around and around. I wonder if he's lonely. Seems like it would be nice if he could have a polar bear friend to hang out with and play polar bear games. :)
Karsten watched him with such wonder in his eyes - it was so fun to watch his expressions.
We had to take a few pics on the polar bear statue. I obviously didn't plan his outfit very well - he looks like he's wearing a khaki uniform. Oops!
And then another look at the polar bears - told you he was a fan!
Check out how big his paws are!
Oh wow!
Then he decided he wanted to walk everywhere we went - he would just meander along watching people and everything going on around him.
What a fun day at the zoo!
