Thursday was a gorgeous gorgeous day here. And we went to the zoo. AND Joseph joined us. AAAANNNDDD it was free day. Does it get any better than that?
G was scared at different points - mostly when going through doors into exhibits. We had lovely conversations about how Mama always keeps him safe.
He was totally unimpressed with amazing things like BISON GRAZING JUST A FEW FEET AWAY! That gave me flashbacks to encountering bison on the snowy Yellowstone mountain roads. At the zoo, I was pretty sure they were behind ultra-strong metal cables but I was still a little nervous. They're just big, ya know?
Back to G. He had a minor tearfilled experience as we dragged him past the carousel: "I wan dat! I wan dat!!" But otherwise smooth sailing. As we passed the site of previous zoo meltdowns, I was enjoying how far we've come.
For the second zoo visit in a row, G enjoyed the camels. Really? Out of all the options... camels?
You'd probably like to see a photo of Joseph holding G - both of them smiling - while a polar bear swam just six inches away (behind glass). I'd love to see a picture of that too. I need to solve my broken camera dilemma soon!

I've got a spare I'll send you next week - we NEED to see pictures of those boys ya' know! It's my old Nikon, not the best but still works just fine.
ReplyDeleteI have to add that the bison grazing at Yellowstone was not one of the strongest memories of that trip - mine is you being PETRIFIED of driving through Yellowstone. Still stresses me out remembering that:)
I actually went on line last night and bought a used one! No idea if that was a good idea, but I decided that I MUST have a camera. There's just too much deliciousness happening here every minute.
ReplyDelete[For example, right now the Little is wearing a sleeper (always too cute) and pretending to fix ALL of his toys which are "broken." Love it.]
Thanks for the offer!! If my new used camera doesn't actually take photos, I may come back to you for your Nikon.
And - I wrote about the bison especially for you. Yes, the real memory is my ULTRA EXTREME TERROR of sliding off the icy, un-guard-railed, cliffs... the logical reaction of any sane person.
