Folsom Zoo

Last Saturday we decided to beat the heat with an early morning family trip to the Folsom Zoo. I had heard from friends that this was a good outing for little ones because the zoo is fairly small and can be covered in about an hour or so. An added bonus was the little train that runs the exterior of the zoo which both of our boys really liked! The Folsom Zoo is an animal sanctuary that takes in and rehabilitates animals that have been injured or mistreated and has quite a few different animals than the Sacramento Zoo that we usually visit. We saw bears, a mountain lion, and bobcats just to name a few... Jack is at a fun age these days- he really enjoys checking out new places and as a result we've had quite a few outings this summer. It is fun for us to watch him take in new experiences!

"Look!" This was repeated many times!!
Our #1 stroller driver...still working on the steering though!

Wow- 2 bear sightings in one week!

We finished up our fun day with a ride on the train- Jack's favorite part was the train whistle!

Who knew Folsom had a zoo? Looks like fun! I bet it's so fun to watch Jack exclaim over everything and discover the world...and to be able to understand what he's saying about it! Hope to see you guys soon!
