Hansen Family Homepage: A trip to the zoo

Luke and I recently decided we needed to plan some sort of family activity on the days he has off; especially during the week since it's not so crowded everywhere like it is on the weekends. Now that Jameson is getting a little older, enjoying the outdoors and not napping all day long, we want to get out of the house and enjoy Sioux Falls as much as possible. We decided the activity that we plan could be as simple as going for a walk or as elaborate as taking some sort of trip, but most importantly, it something we can all do together and make memories as a family.

Last week was awesome because Luke had two days off in a row during the week. Wednesday was our anniversary and we already had plenty to do that day, so we decided we would take Jameson to the Sioux Falls zoo on Thursday morning. (I think I was more excited than most kids! I love the zoo) Now that Jameson is getting older and he is actually sitting in the stroller seat (not the car carrier) he LOVES looking around to see what is going on around him. I thought he would really enjoy looking at the animals.

It was a pretty nice day, not like the weather we are having now, but nice enough for us to bundle Mr. J up and truck around the zoo. Jameson was a little into the animals, but like I said earlier, I think I enjoyed it more ;-) He did well for about an hour and a half and then it was time to head out. But we did get to see a lot fun exhibits and overall it was just nice to get outside and walk around.

Here are a few pictures from or trip to the zoo

Jameson is all set to go! He's ready to see some animals
