Last year for Steven's birthday we took him on a trip to the zoo, just the 3 of us. We thought it was a really fun and special way to celebrate his birthday and decided to make it an annual event.
So Sunday morning, we got up and went to the zoo! Since we are up by 6am most days anyway (Thank you for that, Steven) we usually try to go to places as soon as they open. We can avoid crowds that way and the cool thing about our zoo is that everything is free the first hour its open. (We really have a super awesome zoo).
So we hit up the stingray exhibit, that's usually $4 a person. Steven is a bit too little to be able to touch the stingrays on his own and he got a bit freaked out when we tried to lift him up over the water. But he did enjoy looking at the stingrays going by and they even have a few sharks in there that he liked to look at.
Steven was obsessed with the geese that were around. He is really into birds in general actually. He's so funny, he has gotten too close to a goose a few times so now when you ask him what does a goose say, he will tell you it says, "Hisssss" ha ha!

We hit up the reptile house which was awesome. Steven loves to look at the crocodiles, turtles and snakes.
This snake was right up on the glass and Steven wanted to give him a kiss. LOL
We have a membership to the zoo (thank you Grandma/Grandpa Gooden!) so we got to rid the train. Steven really loves riding the train. He loves to say, "All Aboard!"
We ran into this random birdcage in the Wild exhibit and this really pretty bird was right up to the edge of the mesh cage. Steven really wanted to touch him and I kept telling him to not poke the bird because he will probably snap at you (the bird couldn't actually reach him bc of the mesh). Well my stubborn boy wanted to learn on his own so he poked, the bird snapped and it scared him and he cried. Lesson learned. LOL
