At the Zoo

Last week we went with a bunch of friends to the zoo. Luckily, we got to share Tenille and Tate's zoo pass with them, so we were able to go for free (thank you!). Hudson LOVES animals, so he always enjoys going to see them.

Hudson got to play in the cute "Little People" area, and enjoyed riding the horse and cow. We also saw some wallabies, which I realized I never knew what they were- pretty much just small kangaroos. You could get pretty close to them, so it was neat and Hudson was very excited. We also got to see the baby orangutan- my personal favorite :)

We went to the petting zoo area, of course. Most of the kids thought it was pretty cool. Hudson would go over to them and wave and say hi. When I gave him a brush he slowly walked up by one that was laying down. Just as he reached out to brush it, it turned its head, and Hudson jumped back. I thought it was pretty funny. After a few minutes he got more comfortable, and actually brushed a few of them.

We HAD to go and see the elephants- that was pretty much the only animal Hudson specifically asked to see (besides the tiger- but it got really warm, so we didn't want to make the climb to the top of the hill at the end of the day- we'll have to do that first thing next time we go). He just stood there and stared at the elephant like this. He probably would have stayed there all day if I let him!

Here are just a few of us- you should have seen our whole group in the beginning, there were seriously 10 or more moms each pushing a stroller- some of them double strollers! From the left we have me and Hudson, Gina and Porter, Corynn and Jake, Tenille and Cody and Tate.

We had so much fun! Hopefully we can do it again soon, but we'll have to go really early before it gets too hot!!
