Date with mommy!

Seeing as though our poor boy is going through such a rough time with his new molars coming in I decided to spend some quality time with him. We needed a day to have fun and enjoy the beautiful sunshine. So we packed up the van and went to the ZOO!


There were a couple of highlights from today's trip. First of all one of the black bears was taking a swim in the water. He was splashing around and having a great time. Casey thought that the bear was taking a potchy (bath) and said that he needed some soap! He is probably right about that one.


My favorite part of the trip today was watching Casey enjoy the seals. They come right up to the glass as if they were saying hello. Here is a video clip that captures the cute expressions as the seals come our way.



Overall it was one of the best days I have had with Casey. He was so much fun to watch. Because he was such a good boy he got to pick out a toy at the gift store. He picked a rubbery alligator that he didn't put down until nap time. We also had lunch in the snack shop. Casey enjoyed his favorite, chicken and fries! What a fun way to spend a day!

This is totally unrelated to our Zoo trip but too funny not to share. We were reading a big truck book that we had gotten from the library before nap time today and he was telling me the names of all the trucks in the book. I have to say he did pretty good seeing as though some of them have some crazy names. Anyways, he called a pick up truck a pickle truck! Isn't that great?
