Grandma, Zoo & Carousel

The Zoo is always fun, but after a few years the pictures begin to look the same, so you find that although you still love all the animals you become more selective on the shots you take. Luckily the kids change and grow every year as does the excitement to go.

Wednesday and Thursday were supposed to be the best days of the week weather wise -Tate's health started to improve on Thursday and so we headed to the zoo thinking it might be good to get out and seeing the animals might improve Tate's spirits. Unfortunately it was still cold and rainy with a few bouts of Sunshine and Tate didn't seem to care about anything except being held, but we had a great time regardless.

We spent time in the aquarium where we hardly ever go and saw a lot of big sharks who were feeling quite...lazy or social depending on your point of view. They were just hanging out laying on the bottom next to the glass for close viewing.

Last time we were at the zoo Leslie introduced my kids to The Carousel. Fearing the price of a ride we have actually avoided this attraction but after finding out rides are only a $1 we are quickly becoming regulars. It was all McKenna could talk about the whole time we were there. Tyler has overcome her fear of it and she's a big fan and we discovered that Tate is also a fan.
This was the one time Tate actually showed any emotion. He Loved the Carousel, they all did but Tate did NOT want to get of holding onto his horse and became quite upset when it stopped.
WE LOVE THE ZOO-Rain or Shine!
