Zoo Fun

Not happy about posing for a picture with mom.
First ride on a merry-go-round.

Howler monkeys, who weren't howling.

The boys and I traveled to Columbia today to visit Laura and her girls. We took the kiddos to the zoo and Michael loved it! It was his first time ever to the zoo and I started talking to him about it last night. We saw lions, tigers, and bears. Oh My!

Michael was adorable. I'd say "Do you see the lions?" and he'd look around rather indifferent and ready to walk away and then he'd spot them and get so excited and tell everyone he saw about the animals. He'd notice the animals just a bit later than everyone else.

Today was also his first time on a carosel. He was too scared to sit on one of the animals but he did agree to sit on my lap on one of the bench seats. Once the ride started he realized how much fun it was and loved it!

I was proud of him because he walked the whole time and never wandered off. Delainey was out of the stroller also and I think he wanted to be a big kid. Michael still did not want to pose for any pictures. Why won't my child sit still for a picture?!
