Busy Day

The bean had a very exciting day today. We met a friend of mine from work and her little boy and went to the zoo! We thought we would beat some of the crowds by going earlier in the day, but discovered that it is super crowded because all the kids on field trips are there. We went before lunch and that was a bit of a struggle for both boys because they got hungry and then were to distracted to eat. We decided not to do anymore mornings at the zoo! We will start later in the day instead. Just as both boys had pretty much had it, all the field trip groups were starting to leave.

The bean loved the animals. Despite seeing baby lion cubs, penguins, elephants, and other assorted animals, the thing that captivated him the most was the pigs in the farm area. They have a contact area (essentially a petting area) with farm animals that opens next month. He will love that!

We got a membership, so we can go back whenever we want. The bean doesn't have the attention span to do more than a few hours at a time, so eventually we will see it all.

Today was also take your child to work day. The bean isn't old enough to go to work all day with Jeff, but we stopped by Google to see him after the zoo. They had kid friendly foods still out for lunch, so we had a snack with Jeff and then were able to go up to his office and say hi to his coworkers. Jeff's floor is usually closed to visitors, so it was a special treat. The bean got a cool bag and toy too. There were tons of kids there!

After all the excitement, mom and the bean needed a break, so we headed home.

You are probably noticing the lack of photos with the post. I usually write the posts and upload pictures from my phone. I'm having a serious camera issue, which is going to require a trip to the Apple Store to remedy. I took pics today with my regular camera, but I didn't get a chance to transfer them to the computer yet. Look for a photo post of our day soon!
