John Dickson's first trip to the zoo!

To celebrate a day off from work and a cute little munchkin who is approaching 5 months (5 months!), we took John Dickson out for an afternoon at the Greenville Zoo. It's no Riverbanks, for sure, but we had a good time anyway. We have to admit, it was more fun for us to take the little man and show him the animals than it was actually fun for him. He took zero interest in any of the animals, with the exception of a few.

He enjoyed watching the giraffes, who were in constant motion, "fetching" the "animal food", i.e. crackers Adam kept throwing them. Adam kept saying something about having power, making the giraffes chase food... I dunno... Maybe it's because the cracker I threw didn't make it over the ditch...

He also liked the orangutans, and was literally an inch away from the baby. These he probably liked because of the constant banging the daddy orangutan was making with a rock and the glass. The exibits at the Greenville zoo are pretty sad...
