Roger Williams Zoo (Providence, RI)

Henry has been watching the Disney movie The Wild a lot lately, so he was very excited to see that a Wildebeest was a real animal, he stood for a long time looking at them.
One of the baby giraffes at the zoo.
Yes, he's wearing a leash...after one too many times of having to break into a full run to catch him after he wouldn't listen, it was decided that this was the best solution. I have to say that both he and I were a lot happier today. He wouldn't have been able to see the animals very well sitting in the stroller, and I would have been yelling at him all day to stop if he were unrestrained, so we've found the happy medium, until he can understand what 'get run over by a car' really means.
I didn't use the zoom at all to take this picture. Henry and I were super close to this giraffe, and Henry was pretty excited. He had been asking about giraffes and zebra on the ride to the zoo, so I was glad to be able to see both. The only disappointment, which he didn't realize as he told Jared that we saw elephants when we got home, was that they're doing construction to eliminate all cages on the premises so don't currently have elephants there.
