Alex's new monkey friend. 
Alex "rubbing the lion's belly"!
We haven't done a whole lot since being in Kansas City, but we did go to the zoo. It was, like the Oklahoma Aquarium, a whole new experience for me. The only zoo I've ever been to is the Jackson Zoo. So, to go to a place where we only covered 1/2 the park in 2 1/2 hours was a little mind boggling. It was amazing. They have glass barriers up for some of the "bigger" attractions, such as the lions, gorillas, and so forth. This allows the viewers to get up close with animals that you would normally only see from a distance. I probably sound so sheltered to some of you, considering this is nothing new to most people. Oh well. We all had a blast, despite the heat! Again, I took plenty of pictures. I'm going to have a fascinating scrapbook when we finish traveling!
Alex really seemed to enjoy every animal, so I can't say he had a favorite. Although, he looked at the giraffe and said "Way!" So, we reinforced that the giraffe was "way" up high. He also, while "rubbing the lion's belly" growled, which I thought was too cute! He laughed at most of the animals antics, but he tried to get in with the monkeys. So, I guess I just have a "wild child".
