We had perfect weather today, the high in the lower 80s, and decided to get out and enjoy it with a last minute trip to the zoo. Carter had a blast and Momma was totally worn out when we got home. But at least it wasn't 105 degrees!
All set and ready to go!
Checking out the humongous bunny rabbit. It was huge.
A little unsure of the goats at first....
...but he warmed up to them.
Until this one popped his head through the fence while the wagon was parked along the side and Carter was sitting right under him. That totally freaked him out. I snapped this picture as Eric was pulling him away.
"Hi Ostrich!"
Checking out the elephants.
He loved this baby giraffe. It was a "zoo" born. How cute is that?!
Carter said, "He's having milk from his Mommy!"
Ummmm..... yes he is?! How intuitive of you, son.
(Have I mentioned that he surprises me each and every day with what he picks up?!)
Carter rode the carousel just before we left. This is a big step for my boy.... stuff like this usually makes him nervous. We were shocked that he said he wanted to, and that he actually went through with it!
And, he loved it! After he got off, he came over to me and said, "Mommy, it was SO much fun!" .....Proud Mommy moment, right there. Indeed.
(Listen closely, you can hear him shout, "Hi Mommy!"... as he did each time he came around!)
And here are a few cute pictures of Carter playing football with Daddy in the backyard just before dinner tonight. Hopefully lots more of these fun outside moments to come this week. The forecast looks great!
Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekends with your families!!
What sweet pictures! He is becoming such a big guy.
