Zoo Day

Caden LOVES animals! Probably just as much as he loves cars! So we finally made it to the zoo!! We met Nana and Papa at the Knoxville Zoo for a fun filled day! We did not tell Caden where we were going but as we pulled in we told him we were at his surprise. He saw the sign that said Z-O-O and shouted out ZOO! He was SO excited! When we got out of the car, he was jumping up and down, talking about all the animals he was going to see! We saw lions, tigers (white and orange ones) and a bear (oh my!). As well as otters (who loved Caden's orange shirt, they kept swimming right by him and popping their heads up! It was so funny!), kookaburra, komodo dragon, rhinos, red pandas, elephants, zebras, giraffes, goats, toucan, prairie dogs, penguins and a lot more! Caden loved it! Noah did very well during the day. He was not as excited or really seem to even notice many of the animals but he was not cranky and even took a nap in the stroller! :) At the end of our day of walking around seeing all the animals, we went to the little kids cove last and they had some slides and a place to play in the water with squirting frogs! (both kids got soaking wet! Originally Jimmy started off just putting Noah's feet in but he loves the water too much and ended up all the way in!)  Caden's favorite parts of the trip (according to him) was when he got to ride the camel, brush the goats and play in the water! I won't put all the pics up but here are a few! We had a blast!!
