It's a nicely sized zoo; a toddler can walk almost the whole thing (with snack breaks), but it's not so small that anyone feels like there's something missing from a visit.
*****
Jack likes the 'mingos' right after you enter the park. The first time I brought him to Zoo Atlanta, he refused to leave the flamingos, apparently believing that they were the one and only attraction.
If asked, Jack will say, 'Elephant says RAAAAARRR! Lion says raya.' He whispers what the lion says. You should see his gorilla imitation. It includes chest thumping.
Giraffes, of course, are another zoo favorite.
They had a little kiddie dance party going on at the zoo that included a bubble machine. Big hit with the The Boy.
Of course, the train rated highly, too.
As did the carousel.
I know we are always saying that Jack is a very sweetly disposed little boy. Yes, he's quick to smile and laugh, but he certainly has his share of not-so-sweet moments, too. Here we are getting ready leave after a full day. He's knows better than to throw himself face first into the concrete. He's a bigger fan of going limp and screeching. When he pulls this stuff, I usually ask, 'Would you like to thank the Academy (for best drama performance)?'
