The Zoo

Saturday morning we went to the zoo! It is something that I have been wanting to do with Drew for SO long and just haven't been able to make happen until now. The weather was absolutely beautiful and we wanted to take advantage of it and get in a special "Mommy/Daddy/Drew" day before Josh's arrival in just a few short weeks! Drew LOVED it! He's always liked animals and I think he really enjoyed getting to see them in person. His absolute favorite was the elephants (no big surprise)! They were one of the first stops we made and it was perfect timing because their keepers were out feeding them so they were right up at the front of their enclosure. If you ask Drew what he saw at the zoo, chances are good that the first thing out of his mouth will be "elephant" then "hay" then "delicious"! Translation = the elephants were eating hay and they thought it was delicious! We really had a good time and then all took nice long naps when we got back home. Overall it was a wonderful day!
