Landau Zoo

Landau Zoo

Playgroup today was at the Landau Zoo about 45 minutes from our house. Colin really likes the zoo and it's fun to watch him because his new thing is to point to everything. So when he finally spots the animal he points at it and talks really loud. I'm not exactly sure if he's trying to talk to the animal or trying to make sure I see it...either way it's stinkin cute! He had lots of fun kicked back in his stroller enjoying the sights.

I don't know what it is about our group and big cats but we had yet another encounter this time. In case you don't recall, the last time playgroup went to the zoo the lion stood up and walked right to the front of the cage and started roaring really loud and putting on a show. All the little kids got scared and ran to their moms. In fact, one little boy was so traumatized he asked his mom this morning if there were lions at this zoo and told her he didn't want to see them. LOL. Poor kid. So anyway here we are at the cheetah exhibit and the cheetah is laying under a tree fairly close to the cage front. All of a sudden the cheetah sits up, looks around and then charges the front of the enclosure. He was pretty ticked about something too because he was hissing and growling and the hairs on his neck were standing up. Once again the kids start hollering and clinging to mommy legs. I don't know what the big cats have against us but at least we get a show.
