We met up with some friends at the zoo down in San Jose back in May. He enjoyed petting the goats and followed some of them around as they walked, ate and or tried to get away from these many little petting strangers.
Ben loves animals and appears to be gentle with them even those in his books. His favorites are dogs, cats and birds. Lately we have been slowed down on our hikes because Ben insists on exploring those tiny ants marching on the ground. "Ma-i" (the word means ant in Mandarin), he shouted with excitement as he aquatted down to watch the marching activity.
