Let's walk the zoo

Walk, walk, walk.  That's the advice Ann is getting when she talks about having the baby.  So today we headed to the zoo.  I figured there is no place better to walk than there so we loaded up the car and off we went.  At first it was going to be just me and Ann, then I decided to ask my friend Amy if we could borrow her baby boy Brock.  Then Jon decided to go and then Ben and Brady joined in the outing.  Needless to say, we had Ann's car packed full!

 I was hoping to use this trip as a test run on how it is to go somewhere with a baby.  However, this is probably one of the best babies ever so we really didn't learn anything.  He never cried, we had to make him eat, was happy being held or sitting in the stroller.  I will be sending up prayers that our little guy is just as wonderful!

 He had a good time hanging with Jon

 This was the first time I had ever been to Stingray Cove.  I think it's really neat how the kids can touch the stingrays.  Of course, the stingrays Ann and I swam with when we went on our cruise were much bigger  : D  


 The new sea lion exhibit opened this month and it is very beautiful.  The line was a little long to get to the underground viewing tunnel but it moved fast. 

 Unfortunately most of the sea lions were sitting under the rocks so not many were swimming around us.



 Poor zebras were trying to find any shade possible

 Don't the boys look super excited?


 Of course Super Brady had to make sure Brock was ok.

 And he's out!

 Sweetest foot ever!

 He said, she said.  And they both got on my nerves!

 This dude is like "get me back to my iceberg.  This heat sucks!"

 Brock was sleeping until we walked into the penguin exhibit, then the cold woke him up fast!  He loved watching the penguins swim around.


 All the animals had to eat!

 I win!  The best quote of the day was from Brady.  He said "you can tell my mom isn't here because we haven't had to stop and pose for 100 pictures"  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

My sweet precious Brock.  We had the best day at the zoo.  

Next it's Trevor's turn!!!!!!!

  1. Poor Baby Cate was left behind. Guess you've dropped a bit in the "best aunt" line....but no worries..there was never a chance you'd pass Fran, and you know you won't ever hit the BOTTOM of the list ;) (ya get what I'm saying, right?).
