We went with Grandma Sheila to the Toledo Zoo a couple of weekends ago...when we finally had some nice weather! There is a children's zoo area where there are a lot of interactive things to play with and animals to pet...but it was still too chilly for the animals to be out I guess so Ian just had fun running around playing with anything that he could get in, climb on or move around. Alexis was along too but as her activities were restricted to mostly sleeping in the stroller there are no pics of her...sorry. But Grandma and Grandpa always have a season pass so we'll be back again soon I'm sure.
The nice thing about Ian getting older is that he can actually see a lot of the animals that aren't right up close. Before it was impossible to try to point to something and expect him to find it off in the distance or hidden among the trees or something. Most animals are still restricted to about one of four categories for him though...things that meow (anything that looks like a cat), things that "ruff" (anything that looks like a dog), things that quack (any bird) or things that roar (bears, etc.). We're working on learning animal names. Hopefully his new animal themed bedroom will help....more on that later.....
Ian also got to enjoy the carousel and train ride over in the African section of the zoo. He is obssessed with trains and cars lately so that was a lot of fun!
