The Dickerson Park Zoo

Daddy and Bubby
Me and my Bubby

He was very photogenic on this trip!! Thank goodness I didn't have to argue about getting pictures taken!! I think the background of this one looks really good with the clothes he picked out to wear. Yes, mom doesn't get to pick the clothes anymore...he is a BIG BOY!!


The beloved petting zoo!! All they had this year in it was goats. I guess the mini-cow they had has passed on. It was older than the hills!!



He was looking out at the antelope, deer, and others thru this view finder. He is getting so big! Just a few years ago, he couldn't even reach this thing!!




"Hello, nice to meet you...am I close enough?" The giraffe has got to be one of the ugliest animals...really just their heads!!




Marcus also loves feeding the animals at the zoo. We tell each other every year that the next time we go, we will make our own treat bags to take with us. But, of course, we don't!! What fun is it if you don't have a pocket full of quarters!!




This baby giraffe was only about a week old. I am glad I didn't have to have it!! The thing is already huge!! These animals are soo tall. They could probably step right over youand never even know that you were there!!




They also have a waterfall type deal that pops up and if you are standing by one of the holes...you get wet. He loved this because he was hot and this "Really cools you off, mom!!"




On the train, we got to see alot of animals, too. There as a momma duck with babies that was very cute. Marcus looks forward to the train. It is the last thing to do in the zoo.




The last picture of the day....on top of the elephant!! He was tired, hot, and ready to go. But the picture was his idea!!
