Going to the Zoo

We took Owen to the zoo last Saturday while uncle Michael was visiting. We had a really good time -- the weather wasn't as hot as it had been and we got to see some crazy animals. Owen had a hard time seeing many of the animals due to a combination of tiredness, lack of attention span, and being more interested in nearby things like fences, trees, and other people. But, he did have a very special encounter with a spotted jaguar who was pacing back and forth. Owen followed the jaguar as it walked all over the place.


We got to see some baby animals including this baby giraffe:


And Owen had a close encounter with a wild peacock.


Whew! Good thing that peacock was more interested in looking for food than attacking a harmless baby! :)
