Day at the Zoo

This week is a hectic week for me at work so today was a nice change. I was up off and on the night before with Broc and due to my mom being my mom so I was tired and wanted to bail but didn't. We went to the zoo with my friend Steph and her little girl Larissa (Broc's future wife/best friend...he calls her Roo Roo) Larissa

and my friend Jen and sister Holli. Steph also brought some neighbor girls. They were so cute. Hallie and Mia. Adorable little girls. Broc had options with the ladies :) Oh and Steph's friend Jenaine and her little girl Rilee. It was so much fun and Broc had a blast. This was his first adventure to the zoo. Last summer was a wash and we didn't do anything exciting since he wouldn't remember it anyway. Bad parenting? Maybe. I will deal with it. He thought that the elephants were fun, but in the beginning kept saying "No mom" cause they scared him. (My kid doesn't get out much.) And he LOVED the monkeys. We could not get him out of the monkey area. They now have this little cave area where you can go in and be pretty much face to face with a rhino. He thought that was pretty awesome and kept saying "oh wow mom". And did you know that the zoo now has a carauosel? He liked that after a second. I just had to be on it with him.

We also rode the train. He LOVED that. The entire time he was saying "Choo choo". They have changed so much at the zoo since the last timeI went there. All in all it was a good day. Thank goodness for awesome weather. Not all parts of the zoo were open yet, so we will be going again. Next time we go, Justin will hopefully be with us. He didn't want to take a half day off of work.
Thanks Steph for potty training Larissa and letting her choose the day. Thanks for inviting us to tag along. It was good times!!
