Our trip to the Hogle Zoo

On arrival at the Hogle Zoo.
It was Teddy Bear Picnic Day.
We got to see them feed the Bears.

By the Asian Highlands.

Cameron has a lot of growing to do to be the size of the Gorilla.

On the Carousel.

Later that day we asked Cameron what was his favorite animal at the zoo. He said, "Peek-a too". John and I were stumped. We thought he was making it up so we asked him what it looked like and he said, "I don't know." John said,"Did you like the bears?" And Cameron would respond, "And the Peek-a-too". John said,"How about the giraffes?" and the response was the same, "...and the Peek-a-too." We decided to drop it and have him tell Grandma Hutton what his favorite animal was. Maybe John and I missed an animal at the zoo. Again at the Hutton's the response was the same. "My favorite animal was the Peek-a-too." Grandma looked at us and us at her. Still stumped. "Was it a snake?", "No", Was it a monkey?", "No", "Was it a bird?", "Yes!" Finally we realized that his favorite animal was the Cockatoo.

I am still stumped. I don't know what a Cockatoo is. I imagine it's some kind of Rooster? I guess I better find a zoo to visit.
