Each time we have gone to the zoo with Drew, it's a whole new experience! The very first time that we took Drew was in July of last year with my parents and have since been to the KC and Akron zoo's as well. But this time, he's walking. And by no means at all did he want to sit in his Bob and watch the animals. Nope, he wanted to be walking around and going where HE wanted to go at all times. I have to admit that we bribed him a few times with food and snacks so that we could get him quickly up some long stretches of path.
I'd say his favorite animals this trip were the lemur's (again) and the elephants. But then again, he loves fish and small mammals that move quickly like monkey's.
And guess who was bad at pictures again?
This has always been, and always will be, on my bucket list. I MUST touch a koala before I die. I just can't handle their cuteness and how soft and furry they look.

And in other news, please be thinking of me on Thursday morning as I'll be flying with Drew BY MYSELF for a work visit to KC. I'm nervous, scared, excited and anxious all together and just hope I can entertain Drew for the 2 hour flight. Fingers crossed!
Oh my gosh, I was obsessed with koalas when I was a kid. I had a collection of stuffed koalas (the toy, not real animal) that consisted of about 30 of them. They are so so cute. As far as the plane goes, good luck. You already know how I feel about people intolerant of children. I really hope you don't come back with a horror story of someone being a jerk.
ReplyDeleteCute! And this got me thinking about getting a membership at our zoo :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll be fine on the plane. My piece of advice...just worry about Drew. Don't even consider what other people are thinking or saying otherwise you'll make yourself upset and get him upset. If he even gets upset...he's a good kid ;) Oh, and try to stereotype people when you board...like who you think has a kid or is a grandparent, and sit next to them. That tends to work for me. Muwah, hugs, and fingers crossed for a safe flight!
I think a zoo membership is in our future too, probably not this year, but maybe next year. I'm trying to think if we have koalas here or not, I don't remember seeing them. But they are super cute!! One of these trips you make to KC when you have some free time we should get together! I'd love for the babes to play at a park or something!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is great. So much emotion and love in it.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to get Tay to the zoo!
Such a great pic!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the flight! I have heard you should "double bag" the baby. Two diapers, because the change in altitude makes everything explode out.
Good luck!
How fun, we love the zoo too! Leah will not sit in her stroller either so I don't even bring it in anymore, haha!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so anxious to take Marus to fun places, such as the zoo. Good luck traveling with Drew! He's such a good boy I'm sure you'll have no problems.
ReplyDeleteWe're members of the zoo too! We love it! We're hoping to hit the Columbus zoo and Cincinnati zoo soon!! Good luck on your trip - I'm sure it will be fine. Just pack millions of snacks and small toys/books!
