Austin Zoo to the Rescue

Sunday was our 6th anniversary and we finally made a family outing to the Austin Zoo!  To say Judah is really into animals is an understatement.  At 20 months old, he could name every animal in My Big Animal Book.  (He’s especially fond of the gorilla and the word “hipothmotumus”, his pronunciation.)
Unfortunately for Judah, the Austin Zoo is made up of only rescue animals, and they do not have any gorillas.  (BUT, they do have a HUSKY in a cage!)  And they did manage a few lions and that’s all a girl really needs.
They also have farm animals?
Turns out, Zac is mildly afraid of goats… which is interesting since he has been begging me to domesticate one in our back yard for 3 years.   Pigs and roosters… not what I expected, but surprises are fun I guess.
Thanks for a great day, Austin Zoo!  Our toddler was terrified but we had a blast! 🙂
