Oakland Zoo

Today we went to the Oakland Zoo.  We had a wonderful time!  The weather was mild and the crowds were fairly light.  Liam loved seeing all the big animals!  So did Spencer!  He is such a happy little guy.  It is so fun to watch the two boys together.  Liam loved practicing all his animal sounds. 

 

One of the first “big” animals that we saw was the giraffes. 

Liam was sooooo excited!

Look at that happy little guy!

As we were walking along a path and saw a cute this little squirrel.  Liam, being a boy, took off chasing him.  I had no fear that he would actually catch the squirrel but just as he got close the squirrel decided to stop and eat something sitting on the fence post.  I was laughing.  The Mommy in me yelled “don’t touch it!” and the photographer in me took a picture.  If you look close you can see that the squirrel is in mid-flight!  He landed on the big tree.

 

 

 

Not too sure about the elephants.

 

So ugly they are kind of cute!

Thank goodness Uncle Kyle helped Liam across….otherwise we would have had wet shoes.  Love the paparazzi in the background!

 

This is Liam’s first ever face painting.  It’s a zebra in case you could not tell.  They had Junior volunteers that did them for free. 

Good thing he’s two, he loved it
