Dane's First Trip to the Zoo...

So thanks to Christi and her free passes, I finally got my lazy mom butt up and took Dane to the zoo for the first time... He had a great time. He was pooped when all was said and done. But I think this was the funnest zoo trip for me. I've never really gotten to enjoy stuff because the kids are everywhere, but I was able to see the giraffes up close, I got to ride the carousel, looked at farm animals, I got to watch and listen to an elephant drink water, and I even saw the Gorilla's get fed! That was amazing-a really neat thing to watch! So posts aren't really fun without pictures unless you're Mikelene and can write creative, fun things, so here's some pictures to look at!


This was the only one with Dane looking at the camera... too bad I'm making a silly face... it would have been a nice picture. oh well.


I took this picture while Dane was walking ahead of me. He was so happy to be out of a stroller... but then came the leash (which got me some dirty looks from a few other seemingly perfect moms. Big, Fat "W")


Posing with the lion- took about 3 shots to get this one, but Dane had a blast studying the statues and playing around on them.


Yes, he is picking the dear monkey's nose. Atleast it's not his own, right?


Tram ride back to van- possessed or tired? maybe a little bit of both? (couldn't delete this blurry one, I thought it was sooo funny)


I'm thinking tired and he was asleep before we got out of the parking lot.

Cute pics! We just took P to the zoo for the 1st time too and I LOVED getting to see the Giraffe up close!

You think I'm creative? And funny? Awww shucks. The leash made me laugh b/c I was telling Scott that we need to get one for Michael--that kid is a maniac in public! We had one when Morgan was little. And we used it. Scott took Michael to the zoo on Monday while I took the girls to a movie.He said Michael ran nearly the entire time. Good stuff!

Don't you love the zoo? I've got some free passes, so if you wanna go again, let me know. We can go together! I will stop commenting now.....
