Evan's First Birthday: A Trip to the Zoo

For Evan's first birthday we decided to take our little man to the National Zoo in DC...Our first stop was a visit to the Sloth Bear. It looked like a big hairy dog.
We watched it suck termites up through a straw....appetizing!
Nathan lifted up Evan so he could see the otters...
Evan is happy to see the view from up on his Dad's shoulders.....
Our overall family favorite was seeing the red Panda...

What a cute family!
Evan liked the Panda. He wanted to crawl in with him...
and who wouldn't. Laying around...eating bamboo all day. It's the life....
Evan did not like lunch. He had more fun throwing his sandwich on the ground for the birds to eat.
Then it was off to see the hippopatamuses. This is a pygmy.Evan loved watching the Elephants from Dad's Shoulders...


A Mongolian Horse
This little monkey was so little and so dang cute...
and then there was this guy
Evan liked watching the alligator. He kept watching it. I don't know if he knew what to make of it.
It never moved...
More Walking and Looking.....
At Lions and .....
Tigers and....
And then our little Birthday Boy was tired so it was time to go home.... Happy Birthday Evan!!!

I love the last photo with Evan on Nathans shoulders! That is too cute! Looks like lots of fun. We have taken Max to other zoo's but not the national. It needs to get on our list!
