It's a Zoo Out Here!

We took Ammon to the local zoo in Wichita and we had a blast. We saw elephants, hippos, giraffes, chimps, lions, and much more. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety and quality of the exhibits of a zoo in such a small city. Ammon loved every minute of it.

The zoo had a large petting zoo section where Ammon was able to feed horses, goats, and sheep. He was a little scared, but mommy helped him feel safe.


When we were walking past a viewing area for the orangutans, one of the apes a few feet away took notice of Ammon and came right up to the glass to face Ammon. They stared at each other for a few minutes and Ammon was captivated.


After having a staring contest with the orangutan, Ammon developed a new found fondness for the creatures. He was very amused by this statue.


Mommy and Ammon check out the giraffes.


Mommy and Ammon inside the jungle. The zoo had a indoor jungle room with real jungle plants and jungle animals running freely all around. There were jungle rodents, bats, macaws, and even a dragon (the kimono dragon was in a cage).


You better watch yourself when Officer Ammon is on the job. He may look playful, but don't let that fool you. He is one bad mamajamma.



Daddy and Ammon in one of his favorite pajamas. We let him pick out his sleepwear and he often will point at these and yell, "FOOTBALL!"



Ammon treasures his bath time.


I'm eating my fruit snacks...now please go away!
