Vacation: Minnesota Zoo

We took Jaxon to the zoo for the first time - it was a lot of fun. He loved looking at the animals, tried petting a shark (that's what the photo is with him and Josh reaching into a black puddle...there's a shark in there somewhere), discovered the mist sprayers, and went crazy in their fountains. Anywhere there was water in the zoo, he really wanted to get closer to the water. He was pretty mad that Josh wouldn't let him swim with the sharks when they were touching the water!

We brought along his swimsuit so he could play in the outdoor fountains but underestimated how much he would love them. We spent an hour walking from fountain to fountain and standing in the rain that falls in that area. Josh and I are in agreement that we have never seen him smile and laugh and have so much fun as he did in those fountains. How happy he was made it one of my favorite parts of our vacation.
