Lions, Tigers, and Bears

This is Steele roaring like a lion.

Saturday was a great day. The weather was awesome so about 10:00 we decided to take Steele to the zoo. We were sitting around Sat. morning playing with Steele, talking about different animals ( he loves animals and the sounds they make!) and we up and decided to take him to the Memphis Zoo. It was a great trip despite getting lost and almost running out of gas. It was a gorgeous afternoon and a great day to be outside. Steele loved, loved, loved all the animals. He wanted to look at them again and again. His favorites were the polar bears, the rhinos, and the elephants. He loved the polar bears, we got to watch them swim right by us. It was pretty cool. I love to hear him say Rhinos. He said it pretty much all day. He is really starting to say everything we say. He said a lot of the animal names. He absolutely loved watching the animals. He also loved the water fountains. He didn't want to leave because he wanted to play in the water. It was a great weekend!!

Steele wanted to get in the pen with the elephants really bad!

Steele loves to make elephant noises and I of course think it is too cute

The polar bears would swim right by you and he and his daddy loved watching them. He didn't want to leave this part.
