James was a little taller and it was easier for him to see the animals this year. I think his favorites were the penguins and the monkeys. He also enjoyed the polar bear exhibit, being able to make a snowball in the summer was a big thrill for him.

Our first stop is the play area where James can climb, bounce, slide and swing on a variety of playground activities designed for young kids of his age. Also it doesn’t hurt to let him expend some of that pent of energy from the car trip which makes the day go easier for everyone.
