Zoo!


Today was Rob's birthday. We went to the Ueno Zoo. Justin was excited to see the animals. There were the basic lions, tigers, elephants, and bears. One of the tigers and one of the gorillas came right up by the window and Justin got to look them in the eyes.


Justin was impressed by just about anything. We spent awhile looking at the peacocks. One of them was quite the showoff. It was neat to get to see it with its feathers spread up close and for such a long time.


Justin also enjoyed the petting zoo. He showed no fear. Rob and I had to keep right on top of him to keep him from hurting the animals. He wanted to touch them all.
Justin also enjoyed trees and statues. He had a lot to say to them. Here he is with a gorilla. It took awhile for him to go up to the big one. For some reason it of all things intimidated him.
