Animals: Alive, Fake and Dead

First of all, I have to thank everyone for the amazing support from my last post! I definitely know we'll have another child, it was just reassuring to hear that others had the same fears and everything turned out ok! You guys are the best and I appreciate all the wonderful comments!

Animals were the theme of our long 3 day weekend and we had a blast!

Part 1: Alive Animals

The temperature got up to a warm 47 degrees on Saturday and we decided to hit up the zoo again. Fortunately, Cleveland's zoo has an awesome indoor rainforest housing over 600 animals including gorilla's, capybara, an ocelot, sloths, two huge porcupine and so many more. We chose to stay mostly inside there in the winter months, however, we always make a quick trip over to visit the ellies and koalas before heading home.

Part 2: Fake Animals

We got Drew a set of animals for Christmas and so did my brother. Between the two sets, these animals have taken over our house. Drew loves playing with them, but it was adorable how he set them up to 'eat' with us the other day. Since then they have stared at us through various meals like real mammals waiting to pounce on our food.

Part 3: Dead Animals

I guess not really 'dead'... more like extinct for millions of years! The Museum of Natural History was free on Monday and since we had the day off, we decided to visit! (And so did the rest of the city apparently as it was a madhouse in there). They had so much for little ones and Drew loved spending the morning with his BFF, Jack. See the matching shirts? Completely unplanned, but almost as adorable as the fact that they wouldn't walk without holding hands.

Total bromance.

Cheers to it already being the middle of the week!
