It's very rare that Mommy gets a day off but when she does... it means having some mommy 'n me time! A perfect cool, beautiful summer day to spend at the L.A. Zoo.
We've been studying the alphabet with Braiden and have been incorporating animals into it. It serves as good preparation to coming to the zoo.

A Meerkat on the look out!
New to the zoo... Black Swans
I think these are the same Flamingos that I saw when I was small!
Gorillas eating some fruit tree leaves
A funny story...
For some reason when most of the animals were eating their meals, their backs were turned to us. I was eagarly waiting for some sort of reaction from Braiden about these unreal huge animals that he only sees in books. As we were watching these Gorillas eating there was one other little girl there with her mommy and grandma. Out of the blue, breaking the silence was Mr.B saying in a LOUD voice, "Eww, Monkey butt, stinky"! I couldn't help but laugh and the other mommy and grandma said, "Yes! You're right!" Just shows how observant Braiden is!
Braiden got up close and personal with this one Gorilla.
They were using sign language to communicate with eachother.
Z is for Zebra
The Lions were sleeping
Braiden's nap schedule is in sink with these Lions.
Right about now is his morning nap time too!
That's what keeps them -BRAVE & FEARLESS-
Giraffes
I'm as tall as this giraffe!
The whole family
Chimpanzees of Mahale Mountains
Looking for Elephants
Shucks -I caught the end of our conversation as we were walking hand in hand... but Braiden was saying, "Elephants, where are you?" I tried to get him to repeat it but he got distracted by Hailey :/
This Elephant had an ouchie on the side of it's eye.
Orangutans and Red Apes
Just hanging around
This Orangutan was showing us his dance moves by spinning around in a circle and then laying down like this and looking at us!
The Tigers were also sleeping
A Hippopotamus!
Braiden says the Hippo was taking a bath cause it was dirty.
American Black Bear eating some fish
This was a rare species exhibit.
The zoo had him on display just for today!
~ Braiden Makoa ~
Watching the World of Birds Show
Finally something that resembles Braiden's all time favorite -turtles...
Madagascar Tortoises
Trying to get a picture of Hailey and Braiden but he couldn't keep his eyes off of the "turtles"!
My silly guy <3
I found a tortoise!
Kangaroos
"Shhh, Koala Bear sleeping", Braiden says
It woke up to scratch an itch it had!
After a few hours at the zoo, Braiden was pooped out. He had a good five minute power nap then up and running! He couldn't wait to tell everyone that he saw lots of animals at the zoo today!
