We have finally been having some pleasant fall weather, so we decided to take Geddy to the zoo in Salt Lake. We knew he would enjoy it because he is obsessed with animals and making animal sounds. The elephants were his favorite (something in common with his Aunt Carrie). We visited the elephants a couple of times. He raised his trunk (arm) and trumpeted hello and goodbye to the three elephants there. He enjoyed watching them eat carrots with their trunks. 
He also enjoyed the monkeys, bears, big cats and zebras. He became a little concerned when he saw this Arabian Wildcat. He thought it was Spanky and was a bit perplexed that he was behind glass at the zoo.
To finish off the day at the zoo we went for a ride on the train. It travels around a small portion of the zoo and goes right through some of the animal compounds. Geddy's favorite part was when it went through the American Bison part, one of the bison started running right for the train. Geddy thought that was pretty funny. It was his first ride on a train and he loved it. He still points to the door and says "choo-choo" and does an elephant sound and wants to go bye-bye to do those things again. I am just glad we finally had decent weather to be able to do this, considering all of our other plans of late have been ruined by nasty weather.
