Baby Friday: Did someone see monkey's at the zoo?

Last July we took Elliott to the zoo and he slept most of the time. Can't say it was the most fun experience, but we went. On Monday, because my mom and brother still had Spring Break days to burn, the 4 of us ventured to the zoo to see some animals - along with every other mom and kid along the Wasatch front. It was crowded but good thing for us, we are fast zoo goers. We breeze through, see everything, and spend some time in the gift shop to cool off.

The weather was beautiful and Elliott had a good time. He really liked the monkeys - his brothers - and was so excited when he saw an elephant that he just wasn't sure what to do except point at it, look at me, and point again.



Near the giraffes, he decided that it was his turn to push the stroller. That would have been fine except we were going up hill and I had to hold him because he isn't quite tall enough to reach the handle. So, he held on to the stroller, I held him with one arm and I pushed the stroller with the the other. The best workout I've had in months.



The giraffes were not our favorite, but it was the only time we got the camera out and willie did a good job taking our picture, even though I look like a retard.

In the end, the zoo was grand, Elliott loved seeing the animals and being outside and eating his chicken nuggets and french fries in the care on the way home, with his new monkey to keep him company was all the kid needed to be happy.
