This week presented another gorgeous weather day. As this summer has been beastly, we decided to take advantage and invited grandma Dino to go to the zoo. This zoo is smaller and has animals from only the Americas. The weather was perfect, yet again. Cloudy, low 80's with a nice breeze. big guy was attempting a new nap schedule, so he was awake when we got there a little after ten. We bought our tickets, which were nice and cheap. We saw bald eagles, vultures, wolves, foxes, cougars, jaguars (black and spotted), and prairies dogs. Big guy loved the butterfly exhibit. He could have stayed there all day. He really could follow them with his eyes as they fluttered around him. While we were watching them, I was saying lines from his favorite book, The very hungry caterpillar. His next favorite was of course the duck pond. We saw baby ducks! They were really cute and apparently they have spots when they are little. This of course made them even cuter. Grandma Dino bought food for them and we watched them gobble it up. Only after walking through the entire zoo, did he fall asleep. We decided to walk through it again and hit up the reptile house, which we had missed on the first pass. Big guy slept for two hours in his car seat. By the time he got up, we were home. I fed him and then we went to lunch, where he had a great time. That night he slept great!
