My best attempt at a family photo.
Crawling at the zoo. Halfway through our rounds Peter needed a break out of the stroller to crawl around.
Peter cuddling daddy outside the monkey cage. Peter's shirt is from Nana Deanna, it has monkeys all over it!!!
Mom cuddling Peter on our zoo walk. It's so green there and full of life. I love being out in a green environment. Shortly after this photo the lion started roaring and freaked us out.
Peter at the zoo. His favorite animals this trip were the giraffes and the peacocks. A white peacocks came running at us because another little girl was chasing it! Peter was just staring at that one. Next time I think we'll try to go at feeding time, we can feed a giraffe!
Look! A turtle shell!
Is there a turtle in there?
This morning Peter and I went to the Reid Park Animal Fair. We did have one mishap on the way though. Peter had his sippy cup in his carseat and mom hadn't gotten it screwed on right so it spilled all over his pants and the carseat! He started yelling halfway to the park and I had no clue what was going on until I got there and took him out of the car in dripping pants! Bad mommy! We took his pants off and ended up going to the fair in a new diaper and dry shirt and his pants hanging off the stroller drying.
There were LOTS of doggies to look at and they were all at about his level. It was crazy busy with people and their dogs. I wish we could have brought Gizmo, but he's not so good with other doggies and would have gotten stressed out.
It was sunny and hitting about 80 degrees so I made Peter wear a hat so he wouldn't get a sunburn on his head. He kept it on as long as we were moving and there were things to look at. If we stopped for a few minutes he noticed it was there and would be taking it off.
There were horses, ponies, llamas, and pigs at the Animal Fair too. Peter was fascinated by the horses. I tried getting his picture with them behind him but nothing I did would get his attention. He was doing some crazy gymnast moves to keep them in his sight!
There's a pond in the park too. We didn't get to see the ducks today, but maybe next time we'll take some bread for them. Oh, and btw, his pants were dry by the time we got back to the car. The carseat was nearly dry, I ended up putting an extra diaper and a blankie down and it was fine. Phew!
After 2 days out in the sun at the park I am exhausted and my face is definately turning red. But we had a blast!

It's nice to see you are enjoying the zoo pass. I hope you have many great days at the zoo during the next year. It will probably become Peter's favorite place. Put those sunglasses on that boy so his eyes are protected! Love you,
