Caleb slept in the hotel, so we all had a good nights rest!
After breakfast we met up with Uncle Carl and Aunt Theresa at their house and drove to the zoo.
Caleb almost couldn't believe his eyes when he realized we had actually got there (he had been waiting for the giraffes all weekend). He looked at all of the animals in turn being very patient but as we entered 'Africa' he began to ask to see the giraffes whenever he thought we were doddling.
He had absolutely no idea, but I asked him to go stand up to the glass by a lion and he did it...great photo op!
Carl and Theresa couldn't believe how willingly he did what I asked him to do because I was constantly asking him to go stand by something or to come try this and of course he did it!
We finally got to the giraffes, bought the lettuce, and took Caleb over to the hungriest one; he then held out the food, screamed and threw the lettuce at the zoo helper and ran to dad. Everyone laughed.
Then we walked around and saw all the different animals. Next he was pestering us to see the turtles. Once he saw them and realized they just layed there in the shade he was unimpressed and walked away.
In 'Australia' he saw a dingo that he was certain was our dog Lucy. He also took a river log ride with Carl and I and visited the 'Great Barrier Reef' where he quickly pointed out the 'Dory fish' and the 'baby Dory fish'.
In 'The Indonesian Rain Forest' he made a Komodo Dragon drool over him and rode the endangered species carousel several times.
We still had loads of punches left on our card but he got hungry and asked for a cheeseburger happy meal please.
LOVE, MOM
