Trip to the Zoo

We (Johnny, Me, Jack, Audrey, my mom, my dad, my sister, and my nephew Nathan) went to the zoo for the first time this year. I knew that Jack wouldn't be all that impressed by the animals because he wasn't all that impressed at Wheeler Farm and those animals aren't even close to exotic! After the whole trip, Johnny said we should just save our money and take him for a walk on the parkway. Oh well, it was still fun and Jack got some exercise!

He loved the stroller! Everywhere we go, he holds onto it for a while then runs away, then holds onto the stroller again!

Audrey didn't really know what was going on besides another ride in the stroller. She was a very good girl and slept almost the whole time.


My dad is SOOOO good with Jack and Jack loves being with him. Whenever Jack threw a fit my dad could get him calmed down and back to where we wanted him to go. It was great!

Jack did enjoy seeing the monkeys!

We saw the new baby elephant! At least I didn't have to be pregnant for 21 months! While we were looking at the elephants, Jack was pointing out the trees around them.

This was over by the big cats. There were two way cute tiger cubs! Jack was interested in the "cks" which are rocks. He can't say his "r"s.

We did take a train ride which Jack enjoyed. He loves trains and enjoyed it pulling up and then getting on.

Do You Measure Up?

Jack LOVES books! He will look at them more than he plays with toys! This was a new book I brought home from work, "If You Give A Cat A Cupcake." He will find a page with writing on it and "read". He makes up sounds and words and it is so entertaining. Just lately he has started singing which is fun to hear too!

Audrey has really started smiling this week. It is so fun to see, although my camera is SOOOO slow we missed most of them.

This was the sad face she made while Jack was playing the piano and she was trying to sleep
