Zoo

I'm never very good at these "self-portraits." I love that you can see Maggie's eye in the corner. Yeah, she came, too. This was our first time riding the little train at the zoo.

A couple of weeks ago we went to the zoo with our neighbors the Pratts. They have awesome mechanical dinosaurs right now that Jared loved! (Although at times he seemed a little scared and kept asking me, "Those are pretend dinosaurs, right?") In fact, as I am going through my pictures I realized that I didn't get any pictures of zoo animals--just the dinosaurs. Ha ha! That's ironic.





Jared likes the zoo even more and more each time we go, but he still thinks the most exciting part is the automatic toilets. I think he went to the bathroom four times in the three hours that we were there. I cannot for the life of me convince this kid that bathrooms are yucky and that we should spend as little time as possible in them.


We went to one of the bird shows this time, which I totally recommend! It was pretty cool. It was my favorite part of the visit.
