We just got back from the zoo. It was wild today! Tons of people in addition to being hot and humid. Jack got to see all kinds of animals today. He's been to the zoo a dozen times (thanks to our unlimited zoo pass) but it wasn't until recently that he's taken an interest in animals--which made me extra excited about taking him to the zoo today. He got to ride in the double wagon with his friend Mason (on the left in the green shirt).
We watched the two baby elephants run around and play in the water, although I'm not sure they are in the video I took. Jack was so cute, pointing his finger and saying, "Dat?" I'd tell him "elephant," and he'd try to say it, but he's nowhere close...
After viewing the elephants, the boys were getting hungry, hot, and fussy, so we headed to the picnic tables and ate the lunches we'd packed. Jack spilled water all over himself which caused a total meltdown. He calmed down after I stripped off his wet shirt---and that's why he's topless in all of these photos.
After lunch we headed to the aquarium part of the zoo and and saw the polar bears. They usually lay around and do nothing, but today one of them was playing with all the kids in the window. He would swim right up to the glass and jump out of the water, splashing onto his back. The boys loved it! My friend & next-door neighbor Agatha (Mason's mom) was able to get video footage of it, so if she posts it on Facebook, I'll try and link it to my FB page. In the video below, that is Mason in the green shirt, and Jack on the right.
Here's a picture of the boys about five seconds after loading them into the car.
The last photo, below, was actually taken yesterday while we were out. Aren't they cute? Agatha & Mason will be moving next week, which makes me really sad. They are going back to California now that Agatha's husband Jason has finished his surgical residency. We are going to miss them so much. :(
