Someone told me its all happening at the ......

ZOO!



This past weekend we took J on his first trip to the Zoo!  We slathered on the sunscreen grabbed our hats and off we went!  We have a nice zoo that I haven't been too in years (although they could use more parking).   I used to help my mom on her field trips many, many, many moons ago but things have changed.  You come in a different way and there are all of these 'section's now.  The weather was great - not too hot - and most of the animals were in full view.   G did a lot of "quit looking at the humans you see them all the time - see the (insert animal)".  But I have to say I agree with J - the zoo is a great place to people watch.  He loved the giraffe although I don't know if he made the connection that it looked like his Sophie and he reached out like he wanted to touch the polar bear.   Probably thought it was a giant white dog.   He also seemed to like the penguins however he was a little concerned about the boy who was crying because he had fallen. We will continue to go with him for sure and probably become a member after he turns 2..  Highlight for me was getting to see Lily - our zoo's newest member of the elephant family.   I didn't however get to see Packy our oldest pachyderm so we will have to go back.  We ended the day with a Icee and hot dog and J had a bottle before heading back home.   All in all a good day.
