Yesterday we traveled to Hogle Zoo to see baby elephant Zuri. She is super cute, however, at the exact moment that we walked up the mama elephant took a huge dump and then baby Zuri walked over and started eating her poop. Then George and Charlie started yelling, "Mom, why is that baby eating its' mama's poop?" There was a zookeeper on hand who answered that question (healthy bacteria) along with a whole host of other questions that George had for her. My favorite was, "How many baby elephants tall is the mama elephant?" Three in case you are wondering.
This is baby Zuri eating "health bacteria." We also saw baby Zuri nurse which was cool and prompted even more questions from the boys.
George didn't want me to take his picture which is why his eyes are closed. We always sit in the back row of the train because George thinks the train whistle isn't as loud back there (he has never noticed that there are speakers mounted throughout the train).
Charlie on the other hand was all about the pictures. He wanted me to take his picture next to every animal that we saw.
We also rode the carousel. Charlie picked the grasshopper and George chose to sit on the stationary peacock.

Oh my goodness that is the cutest little thing I have ever seen! I want one!
Looks like fun. And, I love the awesome questions and comments from your boys. It's funny, I used to be so good at taking my kids to the zoo and museum and all that stuff. Now, not so much. My youngest is lucky to get to the park at this point. Keep it up......before you know it, your sense of adventure will be limited to getting their homework done and getting them to practice on time=)
You are so fun. Can we move in with you? And I don't care about healthy bacteria, I don't ever want to eat poop.
I wish I could meet those cute boys!!
That looks like so much fun! Making it to the Hogle Zoo this fall to see the baby animals is on my list. Hopefully we can make it before it gets too cold!
You are the best mom! You really encourage their curiosity. Smart boys!! I love the pic with the eyes closed. George is great!
I am excited to meet baby Zuri. But I hope she doesn't eat poop when I am there. Yucky.
Yay for fall zoo trips - I love going when it's nice and cool outside. We just saw baby Zuri too - no poop incidents though, thank goodness.
Can't wait to babysit the boys!!
So gross that the elephant was eating poo! But I guess that's normal to them, so I shouldn't think it's gross, but I still do! Zuri is super cute!
