We went to the zoo a few weeks ago. Benjamin was fascinated this time by all the animals, and wanted to climb over the cages and fences to touch them. After our trip, he's also taken a greater interest in his animal books, which he has me read to him repeatedly every day.

Here he's looking at a snow leopard, trying to wake it up. But it never even twitched.

Benjamin's favorite animal was the Meerkat. They were giving him high-fives!

It was a beautiful day, and all the animals were out, including the girraffes who posed nicely for the camera.
