We mostly saw logs and bushes behind fences. Alexander enjoyed it thoroughly, and tried to humor us as we starred at what appeared to be a shrubbery exhibition.
He especially like the train ride that took him around the parameter of the park as a disinterested staffer mumbled things like “there are supposed to be bears over there” into a failing PA system.
But perhaps his favorite exhibit at the zoo was the fou-fou (that’s “fountain”)… which, in the spirit of the zoo was enclosed behind a fence.
Ava had a very different response to the zoo. Something along the lines of this:
Yeah. She did that the entire hour drive there, 90% of the time at the zoo, and for the entire drive home. Oh, and for that 10% of the time when she wasn’t crying? She was very bored and put out.
(She’s never like her pacifier, but as you can see we were desperate enough to try it anyway. She’s sort of a “real deal” or nothing kind of gal. Fake nukkies are so very lame.)
So when we got home, everyone was exhausted. She got changed, nursed, and transformed into the happiest baby on earth. She gave Tim a long talking to:
And was just generally crazy happy to be back home.
