A Trip to the Zoo

Jackson's first trip to the zoo. He had so much fun!
Sleeping in the car on the way home. Phew! What a day he had! Notice how he's holding his favorite rattle as he sleeps.


Yesterday we all hopped in the car and headed for the zoo. Our family is big on visiting every Zoo and Aquarium in the world. I have literally been to zoo's all over the United States, and now have been to 2 zoo's in Japan. Every time we visit a different zoo or aquarium, we always get a souvenier. Since I was a little girl I have collected souveniers from every place we've visited. Brandon and I figured it was Jackson's turn to start his collection. So we got him a little something in the gift shop.

The Nagasaki Zoo is huge. It's beautiful, with animals from all over the world, all in their own natural habitat. The cool thing about the Nagasaki Zoo is that you are allowed to interact with all of the animals. You can pet and feed them from your hand. Kangaroo, monkey's, and capybaras are just a few animals that we got to play with during our visit. We had a great time. Jackson did great during our trip. I swear I can take him anywhere. Since it was Jackson's first trip to the zoo, I took lots of pictures. Here are a few from our day.
