This past Tuesday,
my mom was off work, and "I'm off work every day"
as some may say!:)
So we packed up the little man and took him to the zoo!
Now, I don't go nearly enough but I absolutely love the zoo.
My favorite animals are the tigers, Jackson loves the giraffes,
and we share a love for the monkeys.
I could have stayed all day, but Jackson's nap schedule
decided otherwise for us.
But we spent all late morning / early afternoon at the
Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park, Arizona
and it was the best time.
When Grandma is around- Mommy takes a backseat,
but for the most part I don't mind at all,
I fully enjoy sitting back and taking it all in!
I just brought my standard lens,
so don't have any amazing animal pictures to show you.
But more than that, I enjoy capturing this little love.
Capturing this moment of his life right now.
Expression. Size. Personality.
So here are just a few pictures from our zoo trip!
The zoo is my favorite! I haven't been to the zoo in a long time, mainly because we don't live very close to one.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post and Jackson's photos are just precious! Makes me reminisce the adolescent years of my kid when I took her to the petting zoo. Enjoy every moment! They grow up so fast!
ReplyDeleteI spy a Chicago Bears shirt (that's my home team!) I love the zoo, even as an adult <3
ReplyDeleteAwww, so precious!! The best part is capturing the children's expressions, to be honest. <3
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a zoo in my life! I've always wanted to go to one.
ReplyDeleteZoo trips are the best! And being a stay at home mom is WORK! I'm a teacher so I get a dose of that in the summer, but come September I am ready to get back to my job!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so fun! I used to work for a zoo and have great memories there!
ReplyDeleteI love zoos as well, I can imagine it must be fun from a child's perspective - watching him light up, get scared or laugh!
ReplyDeleteHe looks so excited, too cute!!
ReplyDeleteCutie pie! Looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I believe it's the other way around...you NEVER have a day off of work!!!! We love the zoo too! :)
ReplyDeleteGrandma's are the best! Can't wait to take my grandson to the zoo.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had fun. We use to go to the zoo a lot when my daughter was little but haven't been in awhile.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love taking my kids to the zoo. We only went once this whole summer. :(
ReplyDeleteHe's a cute little boy. He looks so curious and having fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a good time! My future children are going to hate me, unfortunately, as I don't really believe in captivating animals that are meant to be wild, unless it's for rehabilitation purposes. But that's just me! Glad your little one had fun!
ReplyDeleteHe looks so happy to be there! SO adorable!
ReplyDeletehow cute! we visit the zoo a lot here in san diego too!
ReplyDeleteAw, what sweet photos! The zoo is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteAw, I used to love visiting the zoo! This looks like such a fun visit.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great zoo! I love the bears shirt too :) So many great Chicagoans are now living in AZ!
ReplyDeleteAww, how sweet! I'm glad you had such a good time. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I can just imagine all of the animals and sights that he's fascinated by - he looks absolutely captivated and entertained! Sounds like a successful and lovely outing. :)

What a fun day! I love walking the zoo. Such a nice way to be outside. Miami has a fantastic zoo with so much space for the animals.
