BOISE!

11.17.09

I made a trip south to visit my friend Jamie in Boise, Id. It was my first time ever actually spending time there, it wasn't the prettiest of places, but the company was amazing. It was a lot like Salt Lake, very spread out, large buildings and mountains.

The first night I was there Jamie and I went to see Where The Wild Things Are, it was such a good movie. I'm quite sure Dodge and Emma would it.

Day 2!
ZOO BOISE :D

Jamie and I made plans to visit Zoo Boise even though it was winter and most of the animals were going to be lazy and not that great. Before we left we ran into one of Jamies friends Guilia and we let her know where we were heading, she asked us "do zoo's even have lions in them?"

First stop: The Lions Den

As we walked around we came across the Lions Den and this lion, which we dubbed "scar" (Lion King), was right up against the window. So these pictures are for Guilia.




Jamie made great friends with him, but when I got down close to the glass, he swiped his paw as though he was going to slap me or something.

We waited there for about 15 min just to get a really good picture of him yawning.

If you ever have the opportunity to go to Zoo Boise, you'll find that its a great Zoo because you learn soo much while you're there. These were a few of mine and Jamie's signs.

Help Fertilize

Hey, who would've thought that cell phones are a global thing in the 21st century?

So educational.

Across the way from the Lions Den was where they Giraffes and the Zebras were. Well, the Zebras weren't up for a show, but Giraffes came out.

Llamas! I don't know why, but I just love these animals.

There was also a black bear. He has this awesome V Neck...like he was wearing a V-Neck sweater.

We came across this snow leopard and I remembered mom having a fur coat and I mentioned to it how the leopard looked just like moms coat, pretty sure the leopard would've attacked me if possible.

This was one of my favorites! I named him Balthazar, like the super mario character...not Joey our old turtle that Craig put on the counter.

They even had a Komodo Dragon

The penguins started singing so we had to go see them. They were adorable as they waddled around.

Each one of them had tags on their flippers so you could identify them on a wall inside.

There were a lot more animals that we saw like a Bald Eagle, Monkeys, Meerkats, Lemurs and a few others. We went into the gift and spent some time in there just reading some books because we came across "Everyone Poops" and he had never read it so we had to take the time.

It was such an enjoyable day at the Zoo.

After that we were on a mission to get lunch at his usual spot and to find out the name of the lady that always makes his "usual" sandwhich because he forgot it. The plan worked and the food was delicious.

Overall, I had such a great time in Boise.
