"We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo"

I took Max on his first zoo visit and we had a blast! We went with my mom, sister, and our good friend Ashley and her son, Sam. The weather was perfect and it was a great day to be outside. Max LOVES our dog, Belle, so we knew he would enjoy seeing all of the animals. He got pretty excited when we saw the giraffes and the gorilla and stared at them with an awed look on his face. He also really enjoyed the weasel because it was so hyper it never quit moving! He also, of course, loved chewing on the straps of his stroller and trying to grab my hair every chance he could! Remind me again why we pay for things to entertain children when they really just want to chew on straps or just shred a napkin?? :) Anyway, it was a really fun day and I look forward to doing it again soon. I know he will just enjoy it more and more as he gets older and can actually see all of the animals, even the ones who are asleep or behind glass. I can't wait until Jeff and I can take him on the fun train ride around the zoo - I used to love that! Max was so pooped by the end of our visit that he fell asleep in the funniest position - leaning over the side of his stroller to watch the ground go by- too cute!! The zoo trip was definitely a success!
