We are fortunate to live within 20 min. of the Jax Zoo. We have annual passes so we can visit the zoo anytime of year for as long or as little as we choose. Riley loves going to the zoo and seeing the animals, but he especially likes to ride the train and play at the Play Park. During the warm weather months, they have a splash area for the kids that is so much fun for them. The other day after I picked him up from school the weather was gorgeous, so I asked him if he wanted to spend the afternoon at the zoo. He couldn't say yes fast enough.
Some of you may remember how we use to call Riley "Monkey" when he was a toddler. It was short for "Monkey Shine." Well, now this picture is very appropriate. There's a monkey on the monkey's back. We weren't able to get close to the gorilla that they have at the zoo on this last trip, which was alright for Riley, since the last time we got to see him up close and personal, he scared Riley so much that Riley jumped and clung to my leg!
