Day 42

Trip to the zoo!!!!!

I was going to let DS walk, but when he saw his friends in strollers he HAD to ride, so he hopped in the double with his buddy and my friend carried her younger DD in a sling so he could ride. Doesn't he look so proud of himself! Oh, and the outfits - it was supposed to be 80 and when we got there it was 58 and blowing like a monsoon. That's a 22 FRICKIN degree difference!!! Oh it was cold. We were all wearing tank tops and went scavenging through our cars for warmer clothes. Needless to say, we didn't stay long and the kids got the power tour of the zoo. Oh well. (His friend's face is blurred, because I didn't think to ask permission to post pics of him.)

Picture this - four moms who nursed their babies, two of us proud extended nursers, marveling over the sweetness of the baby cow nursing. I'm snapping pics, we're all oohing and aaahing. Then the mother cow, KICKED her baby in the freaking HEAD! Yep, we all pretty much yelped like a group of little girls. it was horrifying. ahh, the beauty of nature...

Can't post zoo pics without posting elephants (or ephanants as DS calls them).
