Wild Animal Park

We are just loving Mason's age, he is so much fun, so curious, and finally old enough to go to fun places like the zoo and spend hours naming the animals and running around.  Last weekend was President's Day weekend and we had Monday off, so decided to take the extra day to check out the Wild Animal Park.  So glad we went - it's only 15 minutes from our house and an amazing park.

First stop, gorillas! 

This little baby was so cute!  After a while he climbed up on his mama to cuddle.

He kept pointing and saying "gorilla!" and thumping his chest

Overlooking the wide open park - I can't believe all this is only 15 minutes from our house!  They have tons of animals roaming out there, and some cool rides that take you around to see everything.

There was a pack of lions sleeping by the Jeep

See them in the grass just behind the piles of wood?  Mason was saying "lion, roar!"

Our toddler was of course just as happy running up and down this little hill for 5 minutes before we convinced him to keep going so we could see more animals


Lunch break!  As we were eating a whole herd of giraffes showed up right behind us to eat their lunch, too!


Last but not least, we saw the "ephants"!


Mason made a new girlfriend


And a new buddy.  These two were so cute, they're both standing up on the ledge, and spent about 10 minutes running around together

Before we headed home for nap time we made a quick stop in the petting zoo!


We bought family passes for the zoo & wild animal park, and we look forward to doing a lot more of this through the year!
