Day at the Zoo

Joshua has been learning all about zoo animals in school and has been begging me to take him to the zoo, which we did this week! Josh was telling Brooklyn about the zebra display when I snapped this picture of her giving him a big hug. He is such a good big brother to her, and she absolutely adores him!!

In college, Doug wrote an interesting song titled, "What's the sound of a Rhino," in which he creates this growling sound in the back of his throat, and insists that Rhinos make this sound. It has been quite a topic of conversation in our household to whether Rhinos actually make any noises sounding like this at all. (I know we need to get out more). Anyways, in this instance Joshua is growling at the Rhinos, trying to get them to talk back to him! Unfortunately, we still have no answer to our question..."What's the sound of a Rhino?"





This picture is actually from last year when we visited the zoo, but it was so cute that I had to include it.
