Peter got to wear his alligator slippers. The day before he had worn some new crocs without socks to play and had gotten a big blister that burst on the side of his foot. It looks pretty nasty and the wound is very raw. I couldn't bear to put him in shoes and he wouldn't stay in the stroller no matter how much it hurt. These slippers are super comfy and soft but they also have a sturdy sole. Problem solved! He's been running around in them for several days now and getting all kinds of smiles from strangers.
Peter ran directly for this rock. Last time I had him pose by it and I guess he decided he needed to pose again. He leaned up against it, looked and me and said "Cheese!"
Peter saw a lady reading one of the zoo signs and he thought he needed to read it too.
At a few of the exhibits they had stamp stations to prove you had seen those animals. Peter got a stamp of an ostrich and zebra on his arms and a baboon on his leg. Peter loves to say "baboon" and runs around the corner looking for their exhibit, but he is a little nervous looking at them and he keeps his distance.
Peter got to wear his Elmo birthday shirt. I totally forgot to have him wear it on his birthday! Oh well, it'll still get use!
One of our friends that met us was Peter's adopted big sister Alicia. She holds Peter's hand and takes him on a tour of the zoo. She's awesome at chasing him down when he tries to run away.
And Peter thinks she is just the funnest person ever. I caught them sneaking a hug in the corner of the crocodile exhibit.
We even got a nice family picture!
Daddy and Peter took a ride on the train around the lake before we went home.
Even though there were 3 empty cars Peter wanted to share the caboose with the only other little kid on the ride. He's such a social little boy!
