The Zoo

I decided that we all needed to get out of the house today and do something fun. I suggested that we go to Ruth's diner and then go to the zoo. We went and had brunch, Ashton wasn't so cooperative, he didn't want to sit still and he was doing his screaming so Jason and I had to take turns walking with him outside so we could eat and let the people around us enjoy their brunch as well.


Then we headed to the zoo. Ashton has figured out how to climb in and out of the stroller so we would be happy for a while then he would want out, then he would want back in again. We had fun, we got to see a baby giraffe, all the cats were out and pacing so we could see them. We also got to see a couple of black bears playing. We were only there for about 1 1/2 but it was perfect we got to see all most of the animals and Ashton didn't get cranky. He fell asleep in the car even before we left the parking lot, he slept the whole way home and then for about another 1 1/2 when we got home and I transferred him to bed. It turned out to be a great day.
Ashton liked the big cats, this was a leopard
daddy and Ashton, neither of them wanted to cooperate and smile, but it is still a cute picture
Again Ashton didn't want to cooperate for the camera, oh well

This tiger was huge, he was pacing all over the place

I thought it was so cute watching these bears
