We wanted to take a little trip, just the three of us, before "new baby" arrives, so I took Rob's "five day" off too! Unfortunately, the "Police & Fire Games" put a damper on our travel plans, so we decided to lay low and hang out around town for "family week". We started Monday at the zoo!
Rob is generally unimpressed with the zoo... he thinks that for $24 these animals should really be "putting on a show", and in reality, most of the time they're sleeping. Luckily, the polar bears were great sports. This one posed on a rock, and two others were swimming laps and playing with a ball!
They had three baby giraffes, those were my favorites!
It was hot, so Noah and Rob too a rest. Noah opted for the curb over the bench!
Noah really wanted to ride the "choo choo", but it wasn't working. Instead, we decided to try the carousel. He was slightly terrified at first, and then Noah loved it! It was a miracle we found a long enough animal for both (well, ok, all three) of us! Please, disregard the horrible "Farmer Tan", I wore the tank top to try to even out, to no avail! Rob didn't let me snap any photos of him riding the super-masculine flying dolphin, but it was quite a sight!
By some miracle of God, some quick fixing and three more dollars allowed us a ride on the train after the carousel. Above is Noah anxiously waiting to see if the "test run" would pan out.
The train and the "eee eee's", or monkey's, were probably the highlight of his day! He also told everyone that he had seen cows at the zoo (there are no cows at the zoo), regardless, we had a great time!
