This is another of many of our trips to the San Diego Zoo. I thought to make it a little more interesting I would highlight the animal or animals the kids we the most excited about.
Today the lucky winner was the Galapagos Tortoise. Jackson stood at this exhibit for a good 20 minutes "talking" to the "big, big, turdles." He became a little distraught when one slowly made its way to its feet and began slowly walking away. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Come back turdle! Come back!" It is so much fun watching him get excited about the animals.
Here are a few fun facts we learned about the Galapagos Tortoise. These tortoise can live to be 100-150 years old and weigh an average of 600 lbs! No wonder they walk so slow!
Jackson also enjoyed climbing around on the bronze Gorilla statues. We decided to take a family photo, Dan has been replaced by his stunt double, can you see the resemblance? My camera was on a weird setting that made them black and white accept for the trees in the background.
He especially liked this gorilla. He sat patting him on the head for a while saying "my munty" (translation: my monkey)
