Klassen Zoo Day

Jon's annual trek to the Chaffee Zoo has been made an annual tradition it seems. As this year, was possibly our the 5th year in a row. This year, was the year Jon has been dreaming of. . . feeding the giraffe with Ethan - which was so neat to see!

This year, we got up and headed to the zoo. We were a bit tired, having gone to San Francisco the day before, but we endured and conquered. The day was perfect - sunny and shorts - my kind of spring! We spent the morning watching Ethan chase around squirrels and look at all the animals with amazed looks (Ethan has been to the zoo a number of times, but each time it is all new to him - which is great!). Jon took Ethan to pet the animals at the Small Wonders petting zoo, and fed the giraffes at the 11am feeding! Ethan did so good. Jon and I were both concerned about the outcome - we both confessed we were expecting a very afraid (and possibly screaming) toddler by the end. He had so much fun. . . he was all smiles (sigh of relief for Jon and I!).

We ended our day around lunchtime and headed home. We were all in need of some grub and a nap!
