Zoo Day

I woke up this morning expecting to take a day to do some work around the house, but as soon as I heard the forecast I decided I would get the boys outside as soon as I could. It was a beautiful day and we headed for the zoo. This was Luke's first trip to the zoo and our first time this year.

The zoo was sort of a good idea. I say "sort of" because when we left I was worn out and Caleb was ready to play. Caleb had to ride a lot in the stroller when we saw the animals, the water play area was not running, and the playground was too big for me to be able to watch Caleb while also taking care of Luke. So, we stopped at a park on the way home. Caleb played a little, but then I strapped Luke to me and Caleb and I went on a walk (Tara)/run (Caleb) on the mile loop around the park. At the end of the loop we saw the sprinkler system was on for the large soccer field area so Caleb went running for a while through tons of water!
This was Caleb making Luke smile while I was changing Luke's diaper in the van. Caleb also enjoyed holding in Luke's paci while they were sitting next to each other in the double stroller at the zoo. He is a fun big brother!
Luke was really good for us today while at the zoo and park, but I think the part he enjoyed the most was when we came home and got to kick and play in his bouncy seat!
