Zoo Day

Today we decided to be skippers of church (ooops!) and took Noah to the little zoo we have here in town. His first time at the zoo, too! He didn't totally like it at first - was terrified of all the animals and animal statues - but ended up having a great time once he got used to his surroundings. :)

We saw all kinds of fun things today!



We touched a chipmunk (who eventually ended up in N's diaper bag in the back of his stroller - hilarious!)....


Tried to feed/pet the giraffes, but someone was afraid of them.... (we were lucky to get this picture before he freaked out!)



Eventually he warmed up, but still didn't get too close....



We played at the playground for a little bit....



Saw a photo opp for a family picture....



Saw a moose....



Saw some mountain lions....



Watched the fish....



Saw another photo opp for a family picture....



Took a picture of the most beautiful boy in the world....



Looked at the rabbits....



Saw a gorilla....



Had a snack while watching the monkeys....



He was exhausted at the end of the afternoon, but his behavior was beyond impeccable. Even though his nap was seriously being encroached upon, he did great! Even was good and being silly at lunch. Of course, when we finally got home, he totally crashed and took a 3-hour nap! :)

And so did we! ;)

It's been a good week last week and an exciting week to look forward to this week too. Last Monday we went to a Rockies game, ate at WhichWich for dinner beforehand, and got milkshakes for the drive home. It was such a fun date night. :) We went to some friends house on Friday night and were supposed to play a new game, but got caught up in just hanging out, drinking lattes and talking. That's always fun too.

This week, we're doing some shopping for new house things on Monday, celebrating Becca's birthday (surprise!) on Tuesday night, meeting her and having a picnic at her work to watch the AFA air show for the cadet graduation on Wednesday, doing some "business" on Thursday, and then will be crazy busy, sun-up to sun-down, the next 4 days.

We need some down time....will we EVER just NOT be busy? :)

Love the big chair at the zoo! Cute photos. And, no, now that you have a child, you will never not be busy.;) But you will love it!
