animal boy

On Saturday we took Cassidy on his first trip to the San Francisco Zoo. Carrie went along with us. Cassidy had a great time seeing all the animals and racing around. We tried to help him relate the real animals to the ones in his books, but he wondered whether the gorilla would let all the other animals out.

He also particularly liked getting to pet and brush the goats. If we could, we'd get some for our back yard, but I think it's a little small. Maybe if we ever move out of the city.

He showed Carrie how good he was at scaring her, and got her to play hide-and-seek with him for a while too! All in all, a successful outing for our intrepid explorer.
