Morning at the Zoo

This past Saturday Mimi, Drew and I headed to the zoo for a few hours with Drew's BFF, Jack, and his mom Lauren. It was perfect weather, not too large of crowds and the boys had a blast. The zoo is only about 20 minutes from us and based on how much we already love it, I think we're going to become members next year. Who doesn't love supporting animals anyway?!

This weekend was 'teddy bear' weekend where any kid who brought their teddy bear got in for free. They also had bear informational stands where you could learn about the animal as well as touch some real fur from a bear. Toward the bottom of the pics, you can see how excited Drew was to touch the fur. He absolutely loved it and had a huge grin each time he 'petted' it! He was a bit weary of the bit mascots though and held tight to mommy when we got near them. But the best picture? The very bottom one below. My little angel couldn't handle all the excitement and passed out walking to the car when we were exiting. He didn't want to miss a second in the zoo, but once we were done he was OUT!

On another note, Happy Birthday to my Father-In-Law Cal!
