Visiting L.A. Zoo four years ago today

Boy Contemplates Chimpanzees

Four years ago today we went to the Los Angeles Zoo! We went to see all of the animals of Africa, like the lions, gorillas and giraffes, and then spent some time at the zoo's cool playground.

You were walking around quite well by this time, but the zoo with its steep inclines and crowds wasn't a great place to let you walk free. So I pushed you about in a stroller and then when we got to each animal, I took you out of the stroller and held you up so you can see them. I got my exercise that day!

You were really interested in the chimpanzees. Fortunately, there was a clear plexiglass window that you could lean against and watch the chimps - which you did for quite a while!

Here's a whole bunch of photos from our adventure!
