Day at the Zoo!

This past week poor Bennett and I were stuck in the house sick as dogs. Little B had a fever, cough, cold and double ear infection (for about 9 days) and I caught it from him. Bennett was such a trooper through all of it that we wanted to take him someplace fun when he felt better. So today we took him to the SF Zoo to see the new baby gorilla. Bennett seems to love ALL animals. We got the biggest reaction out of the animals that he could see close up. It's so neat to show him the animals that we read about daily.

All bundled up and ready for the zoo.
Justin was so good about pointing everything out to B. Such a good Dad!
Smiling at the bunnies in the Children's Zoo.
Bennett's first carousel ride. He never let go of the pole.
We carried him around a lot of the time. I don't think I've put B down much in the past 2 weeks. I couldn't spoil him enough while he was under the weather.

We ate lunch by the pink flamingos.


Hasani, the baby gorilla, is in the back of the picture. She was tiny and so cute!
The giraffe was one of the only bigger animals Bennett could see close up.

Looks like you had a great time at the zoo. B is such a doll - he's getting so big and seems to have changed so much since we saw him in April. (And is he already walking with help?!?! WOW!) We can't wait to see you all in a couple of weeks.
Hugs and kisses!
