Southwick Zoo was Tuesdays destination. It was a drive, but such a fun zoo. Berke rode his first pony; he liked it for about one time around and then it wasn't too fun anymore.
We saw lots and lots of animals, Berke's favorite animals (or the only one he knows I guess) was the monkeys. He can make a monkey sound and it is pretty adorable. We saw a baby baboon, chimpanzee and lemur; they were so stinkin' cute. We also saw a white tiger, elephants, giraffes, deer, and lots of cool animals.
The fascination was with the deer. How cool are they?
They have a petting zoo as well which Berke was so happy about. Most animals available to pet were goats and kids. 
Berke is really into pushing right now. If he wants a toy, he pushes the person away to get it. If he doesn't want any kisses he pushes me away, if he doesn't want food, he pushes it away.....you get the picture. So there was this one sheep, who was kind of a bully to the goats and Berke was obsessed with it. He kept going up behind it, find its tail and push it. The lamb kept walking as Berke was pushing it and it was pretty funny. 
It was all fun and games until this little kid decided he wanted to eat Berkeley's shorts. Berke thought it was pretty funny at first. He kept pushing the kid away and when he wouldn't stop the laughter soon turned to tears.
We also got to ride the train at the zoo, and Berke decided to kick his shoe off during the ride. Do any other parents have a bunch of shoes for their kid with no partner? The conductor was nice enough to stop and get it during his next ride for us, so Berke didn't have to be stuck in the stroller the whole day. Someone needs to invent some summer shoes without Velcro that will stay on.
The zoo was a blast. I highly recommend it. The highlight for Berkeley is when Papa bought him a stuffed monkey; he played with it and made monkey sounds the entire ride home. Sooo adorable.
