Look Mommy, Look!
He was obsessed with this fish..."fishy, fishy"
All the kiddos is the canoe...obviously they had enough pictures and were ready to get out!
We did get at least one good picture in the canoe
He was so excited about all of the animals! Here we were visiting Donna the Hippo
All the kiddos checking out the Jaguars...Clayton loved them...he was going on and on "talking" about them. The lady next to us said, "he has a lot to say doesn't he?" He kept saying, "oh no, oh no"
Brayden and Clayton checking out the Jaguars
We had this trip planned to the zoo for about a week. Some friends of mine from school and their children were all coming from Owensboro for a playdate. We met at my house and off we headed to the zoo. We had made it most of the way through the zoo with an overcast, but the weather wasn't too bad, just a little humid...by the time we came out of the building with the Hippo, the sky had turned black and thunder and lightening were upon us. We ran, yes ran, back towards the Amazonia exhibit. By the time we got there the skies had let loose! I mean it was pouring ran. So we busted out the Capri Suns and Smarties and waited it out for about an hour in the Amazonia with about a daycare field trip, and many other families. The kids didn't seem to mind, we let them loose from their strollers and they had a big time!!! This might sound like a crazy day, but with friends, it was actually really fun and quite comical. We finally decided to just make a run for it and get some lunch at Subway. As I ran toward the entrance getting soaked, Clayton is squealing with delight at the fact that he is getting pushed fast and getting wet at the same time...what could be better! As we are eating our lunch at Subway, the girl announces that we can finish eating our lunch but she was going to lock us in because they were experiencing plumbing issues. We had to ask to be let out...seriously!
It really was a great day, and Clayton was so fun to watch. He noticed the animals last time we were there, but he didn't really get all that excited about them. This time he would run to the exhibits and point and go on and on about what he was seeing. He would say "Oh No" at the jaguar exhibit, and as the ducks flew away he would hold that hand out in a questioning manner and say "go?" He was so excited about every animal he saw. We are taking him to the Newport Aquarium and the Cincinnati Zoo in a couple of weeks and I am so excited to see his reaction!
