Riley's trip to the zoo!

Riley's favorite things are animals!  He LOVES them.  His favorite movies are the Madagascar movies.  So he's loved playing with zebras, giraffes, hippos, and lions.  He had never seen any of these animals in real life though.  We were so anxious to see how he'd react.  So, for his birthday we headed to the zoo!

Isn't that sky amazing!!  We went up with Bryan's family.

 First animal:  Zebra.  That was really exciting.  Every animal he saw he just kept saying "whoa!"  Not too many smiles.  Just big eyes and a "whoa".

 This picture is to prove that Ty was there.  He was a champ.  Only problem: MASSIVE BLOWOUT.  Fortunately I had an extra outfit or he would've had a new Hogle Zoo onesie.

 We were at the zoo from 9-1.  Riley usually takes a nap between 12 and 1.  Around the end of our time he was getting REALLY tired!  But we didn't want to miss anything.

 He "rode" the hippo on the carousel.  He wanted the bear but a kid got to it first so he went to the hippo.  But when the ride started he got nervous so we ended up holding him.  He liked it though.

 Seeing the giraffe!  He was so tired that he wasn't showing excitement.  But he didn't take his eyes off the either!

The male's name was Riley!

On the train around the zoo!  He was still having fun!

 And that's a wrap folks!
