A Day at the Zoo

Yesterday was such a good day.

Jared took the day off, I had a quick doctor's appointment in the morning which went really smoothly, and then we spent the whole rest of the day at the Cleveland Zoo.

We walked around a bit first, then ate lunch before seeing the rest of the animals. Both boys did pretty good with only minor little fits here and there - all quickly neutralized. And it was just a beautiful, sunny day (a little hot in the direct sun, for me at least, but actually very comfortable in the shade).

And Holden has been telling me off and on for weeks now that he was "excited to go to the zoo" so I think he really had fun. He rode and walked and always got to get out to see all the animals better. Every time there were 2 of something, he would tell us that they were the Mommy and the Daddy. And he kept asking to see the elephants over and over again, so I think they may have been his favorite.

Bridger Dean loved the aquatic building and looking at all the fish. He kept pointing to them all and making his little humph noise. He was having fun. Plus we left the stroller outside and he got to be carried around so that probably made it more fun, too.

Then for dinner we stopped and got some Subway so I wouldn't have to cook! An excellent end, I thought :)

The elephant!

He sat down here and asked me to take his picture. Silly boy.

Group Shot! (Bridger was starting to get sleepy.)

Rhinos. The baby was neat to see.

Holden asked me if he was going to eat the people! Goof.
