Greenville Zoo

Before we left Greenville we hit up their local zoo, which isn't huge, but it's at least twice the size of ours. And they had more than just tigers, which was nice to look at. The zoo was all decked out and decorated for halloween with blow up animals and wooden signs, which Charlie actually thought was way more interesting than the animals. They also had a very fun playground that I would have loved to spend all day at when I was younger.

This was his favorite animal to look at. It moved its head from side to side and he was very curious.

He's getting the hang of these things.

Cat Tails Zoo

For the past few months I've been wanting to take Charlie to our local zoo, Cat Tails, and we finally made it last week! It is definitely a small zoo, but they do pack quite a few tigers in there (at least 10!). The animals were all pretty active and we even had a white tiger roar at us. Charlie might have gotten a little scared after that. His favorite part was the creepy monkeys that he could climb on. He pretty much didn't want to leave those.

 The only animal that wasn't a part of the cat family was this bear

27 weeks!

 Lots and lots of tigers

Charlie really enjoyed this frog, and he even decided to give him a few hugs

Boise Zoo

While Andy was busy taking his test, Charlie and I went to the Boise Zoo. It was awesome! It had been on and off rainy all day but the clouds peaked through so I decided to go only to be rained on 30 minutes later. But honestly, it was the best zoo trip ever. Nobody was there and we still saw pretty much all the animals (except for that tiger). But the best part by far was going into this "classroom" and the lions were right by the window! I love lions and it was the best to have the whole room to ourselves and marvel at these magnificent beasts. I danced around like a crazy person trying to play with them. I did get growled at three times and I jumped every time. It was awesome. This zoo trip was definitely for me, not really for Charlie, but he enjoyed watching the animals, I'd say the monkeys were his favorite.
