Jackson at the Zoo, Part Two

We went to the Toronto Zoo to visit the pandas, and they were pretty darn cute.

But this little guy was pretty cute too – and really liked seeing all the animals. He tried to say their names and make their sounds, it was pretty freaking adorable.

As I mentioned before, it was a really fun day at the zoo and Jackson seemed to have a ton of fun!

Jackson goes to the Zoo

A couple weekends ago we took a trip to the Toronto Zoo with my brother, sister-in-law and my adorable nephew, Jackson. We saw Lions and Tigers and Bear (oh my!) and adorable Pandas!! And somehow, despite all those adorable and awesome animals, the first photos I edited were of my favourite little monkey.

Most of the time he just wanted to walk or pull the wagon his parents brought for him to ride around in. At one point, we put all of our gear in the wagon as he wasn’t using it but low and behold, he tried to pull it up a hill (it was a tiny inclined slope really). He was so determined to pull it that he would push away our hands when we tried to help him, or give us a glare when we pushed the back of it. He had fun, we had a laugh and everyone around us was smiling too. Eventually he let us help him and we carried on with our zoo trip.

The Toronto Zoo is easily my favourite zoo. The animals always look so happy there and have lots of room to run around.

Ideally, all wild animals would be in the wild, but unfortunately that is not always an option. So if they must be in zoos, they should be in good zoos like this one.
