Another day at the Calgary Zoo
Grayson and I took in a cool, rainy but very nice morning at the zoo with Joanne and Hudson. The boys couldn't have enjoyed themselves more...well maybe if they had been able to run around all by themselves they would have. We saw Gorillas, Hippos and Giraffes, who were inside this time. And as Joanne said, the Hippo was making a noise similar to something you would hear in Jurassic Park. We went for a stroll to the play park and en route Grayson decided that sitting, well falling, into a puddle was a good idea. He didn't get too wet, but didn't mind either way. The boys played for a bit in the park and then we went to lunch. After lunch we saw the primate exhibit with all the cool monkeys. Grayson fit right in. Then the boys spotted the wandering Peacock, yep Grayson saw it this time. And they tried to run after it. I kept telling Grayson it would peck his eyes out but he didn't seem to care. I have to say though, one of the funniest moments of the day was when Grayson walked up to an older boy, not too much older but visibly so, and pulled his soose, dummy, pacifier, whatever you may call it out of his mouth. The boy was absolutely horrified. He was too old for one anyway. After all that fresh air and toddling around, Grayson fell asleep in the car on the way home and continued to sleep for over 2 hrs. Mommy got to relax and watch her weekly dose of Days of Our Lives...cheesy yes but SO entertaining. So even with the slight rain and cooler temps today, it was a great day and we can't wait to do it again.
I almost forgot. Yesterday we were at Joanne and Hudson's again to play and Hudson was riding on his bike. Well Grayson has the same one, but we left it in Kelowna, so he decided he wanted to ride it too. However, he didn't let Hudson get off first and decided they could share. It was TOO funny!!!
Thanks for the awesome pictures Joanne.
PS: OK I am not allowed any more pictures I guess, as they are not uploading. I will try another post.
