Week 35 - The Zoo!

Tigers, seals, and elephants oh my! We went to the Zoo with Ellen, Brianna, Lexi, and Cadence.

The tigers just exited their house as we arrived and were quite the sight. Roaring and playing with each other.

Henry in our new jogging stroller. He loved being able to see everything

This picture highlights Henry's first bruise. It was a dramatic event. On 6/27, the day before our trip to the zoo, I put Henry in our new jogger. I walked away to get the hose and looked back to see the jogger cruising down backwards down our driveway. It finally hit our dirt mound and fell on it side with Henry hitting his head on our driveway. I ran to the rescue filling like the worst mom in the world. Luckily I thought of using the 5-point harness so Henry didn't fall out of the stroller and was pretty much suspended upside down. I of course called my mom, Matt, the pediatrician, and my neighbor. All assured me he was fine and that this is the first of many adventures involving bruises. Henry was totally fine and the bruise if very little but I shed many MANY a tears. Thanks to all those who told me this is normal and I'm not a bad mom, even though I still can't believe this happened. I know now how to use the brakes properly... back to the ZOO!

The new Rocky Shore exhibit with Sea lions, seals, otters, and polar bears. SO FUN!

Henry watching the sea lions and wearing his hat like inside-out

Look at these sea lions!

This is BIG GUY the blind sea lion. 

Lexi and Cadence, so cute huh?

Mom I'm ready for a nap please.

Did you get sunscreen in my eye?

This is where the seals party and Lexi sneezed.


Watching and waiting for the Polar bear

Seriously mom?

Henry liked his shady seat


The Polar Bear just getting out of the water

YEAH we see him!

Look at these tree grizzly bears all naping together? So cute huh?



We had to take a picture with every statue at the zoo.


The otters!

Ellen, Brianna, Cadence, and Lexi

Mom I can see yoU!


 I reclined the stroller so Henry could nap, he loved playing with the sun shade.

We rode the carousel!

Henry fell asleep. Lucky boy, I was so tired when we got home

Cute little sleeper huh?

I'm a turtle!

Henry loved trying to crawl in the turtle. The only problem was that he only goes backwards so someone had to man the behind to prevent a fall.

It was a fun day with lots of fun animals and great company. I love the zoo!
