We go to the zoo for the trains

After five weeks in California, five weeks of twice a day hyperbaric oxygen treatments, I finally got some time to spend with Kellen.  We spent one of the last days in Palm Desert at The Living Desert, which is essentially a fancy name for "zoo."  You might go to a zoo to see the animals.  But not Kellen.  He goes to see the trains.

That, on the left, is a logging train, and was the object of my son's attention for nearly an hour.  He was distracted long enough to ask me for "monies" to throw in the pond.  I eventually ran out of pennies.

My favorite part of the trains was the animal corral, where a t-rex was apparently threatening a herd of calm cattle.

We did get to see a couple animals.  Kellen fed the giraffe.

And then we went to the animal show where I was reminded that I hate school groups of any variety.

I'm looking forward to taking Kellen to the zoo here in Boise, but I am concerned that he is going to ask me to find the trains.  Hopefully I can find an animal or two to distract him.

What's your child's favorite exhibit at the zoo?
