vacation part 7: back to the zoo

We went to the zoo one more time before Will and I left for the Lodge again for a week (so Erin and G&G Mueller could prepare for the garage sale without having to give him their full attention - I really took one for the team there, taking him for more fun at the Lodge instead of working round the clock for a week to prepare for the garage sale...).



In our first trip to the zoo, the carousel wasn't open at the time and since Will liked the first trip so much we took him back for more. Grandma came with us this time, so we had someone to take the above family portrait. The next Christmas card??

It was more crowded this time but we still saw all the coolest animals - lions, bears, monkeys, and gators - and then we took him to the carousel. I don't think he really knew what was going on but he seemed to like looking at all the people and the colorful horses/animals going up and down. We put him on a good horse - of course we had mom and Grandma spotting on each side but he seemed to be able to hold on by himself, and it was just tame enough that I think he enjoyed it.
