Happy Hollow Zoo and Park

We are taking advantage of summertime and bringing Jacob to tons of fun places to visit! After we got back from the doctor's appointment last Friday(everything is fine with baby #2), we took Jacob to the Happy Hollow Zoo and Park in San Jose. It was a cute zoo, but the rides were awesome. He enjoyed the rides because he'd cry when Jeremiah would go pick him up. The rides were free with admission, so we were able to let him go on them several times.

I tried really hard to stick around this area for Jacob, but after I saw a goat jumping on a lady for some food, I immediately left the gated area. I'm glad Jeremiah was there to keep calm for Jacob because he would have reacted to my freaking out yelp.

Jacob is fearless around animals. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? He ran to this area and started making sheep sounds...it was very cute.

These are crazy lemurs. They were very loud and sounded like they were fighting for food! He had fun on this thing. His first big boy ride and he did pretty awesome. He didn't ring his bell and wouldn't look at us, but he didn't cry to try to get out either. Instead, he cried because he was taken off when the ride was over. We were so proud of him. Danny the Dragon ride which took forever to get on! Nonetheless, he enjoyed riding with his dad.

The Ladybug ride!! Oh we didn't think he would have made it out of this one. The guy almost stopped the ride, but Jacob stayed brave and courageous. The ride goes up and down and I think that scared him. However, when Jeremiah went to pick him up, he cried bc he didn't want to get off. How ironic?!? On the car ride again!
