Saturday Morning.<\/p>\n

We’ve been reading the book Zoo Animals almost every night, and I realized that we have not taken him to the zoo!\u00a0 What a terrible mistake so we decided to go today; there’s a small Santa Ana zoo which is around 15 minutes away from our house.\u00a0 He was so excited to get ready!<\/p>\n

What can we find in the zoo? what animal? – I asked while we were on the way there.<\/p>\n

Dog! – William replied after a pause of thinking.<\/p>\n

OK, what else?<\/p>\n

Sheep!<\/p>\n

What animal has a long neck?\u00a0 He could not remember, so I reminded him “Gi…”<\/p>\n

Giraffe! – He said.<\/p>\n

But too bad we could not find giraffe at this small zoo.\u00a0 This zoo has lots of monkeys, some birds, camels and few other animals.\u00a0 It’s really a small zoo!<\/p>\n

Admission fee: $33 for 3 of us.\u00a0 (Annual membership for a family of 4 would cost $99, which is valid at at most all zoos).<\/p>\n

After we paid entrance fee and got in, he looked around, sat on a chair and said “I want to go home!”.<\/p>\n

He didn’t care much about the animals, he loved to touch the metal boxes that they put through out the zoo.\u00a0 At some point he liked to watch the monkeys fighting.\u00a0 I tried to persuade him to take the little train; he said no at first but after he saw one passing by, he said yes.\u00a0 (It requires 3 tix per person, $1.5 per ticket so $4.5 for each person).\u00a0 William was waiting patiently with us without running around for the next train to come, which is a really good behavior.\u00a0 But when we got seated, the train conductor started to talk, William cried.\u00a0 I guess it was so loud for him and he didn’t expect to hear that.\u00a0 After a few seconds of comforting him, telling him everything is gonna be ok, then he stopped crying.<\/p>\n

He touched this box whenever he saw one!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

William did not seem to enjoy the zoo or train very much.\u00a0 We planned to go the San Diego zoo but after seeing his reaction at the zoo today we’re not sure if we want to take him back to the zoo any time soon.\u00a0 It’s 2 hours drive to San Diego zoo and if he’s not enjoy much then it’s not worth it.<\/p>\n
