Maddyx's First Trip to the Zoo

So after two and a half months home we finally made it to the Zoo!  I've been wanting to go since Maddyx came home, but really wanted to wait until summer was over and we could enjoy a nice cool fall day.  We went on Wednesday and it was the PERFECT San Diego weather day.  High 60's and puffy white clouds mixed with a beautiful blue sky.

We headed out in the early afternoon and spent about three hours walking around and checking out the animals.  Maddyx didn't show too much interest in any of the animals, except the ducks (because he LOVES his ducks in the bathtub) and the goats at the petting zoo. 
We started our day with the Elephants.  Here's Maddyx and Daddy walking through the elephant exhibit.

This is WAY better than being in the stroller!

 Yea, I know I don't bend my knees when I walk, but hey, I'll get there.

Mama, these ducks are way cooler than the ones in the bathtub!

Taking a break to give Daddy some love.  Those cheeks get A LOT of kisses!

This hippo was so cool.  We got really lucky to catch him out of the water during the day.  Apparently they rarely will come out.

C'mon Mama, next stop is the petting zoo.

I don't know about this Daddy.  Are you sure it's safe?

Moving on.

OK, wait.  I changed my mind.  I do want to pet him.
