I recently got a membership packet from the Detroit Zoo, and something told me to hold onto it and not throw it away. When I looked closely at the information, I noticed that with all of the benefits, we would only have to go to the zoo twice in order for the membership to pay for itself, so we joined. That means we get free admission and free parking at the zoo, among other things. So last Tuesday we took our first trip this year. Liam LOVED the animals, but didn't notice the big slow ones like the Hippos and Rhino's. He loved the Penguins, monkeys, and Zebras and smaller faster ones that don't hold still. It was a beautiful day, so we both had a good time.
We've taught Liam to make an elephant noise when he sees a picture of an elephant, but the Detroit Zoo doesn't have elephants! It didn't matter though. Apparently, he makes the elephant noise when he sees an animal with a trunk...and an Anteater will do! We were looking at the anteater, and I told him what it was, and he smiled at me and started making his elephant noises. It was pretty cute!
You can't see it, but there's a Chimpanzee on the other side of that glass, and the two of them stared at each other for several minutes.
They had an elephant STATUE, but no elephants. Liam was a little afraid of it at first- but once I touched it, he was okay.
Ready for a big day at the Zoo.
