Fun Day at the Zoo

Hello everyone,

David and I took Tanner to the Zoo for the first time the other day and we had a great time. The weather was perfect and it was not very crowded so it was really nice. I didn't take a lot of pictures because Tanner had a fit when I took him out of the stroller and tried to put him back in so he walked along side David and I for most of the day. It was so funny, as we walked up the big hill to go and see the polar bears I could hear Tanner huffing and puffing Oooh! Oooh! with every step. We laughed and stopped for a minute to let him rest but he wanted to keep going so up we went.

Later in the day we were walking along and Tanner found two wonderful leaves on the ground. He carried them for about a mile and then he just plopped down in the middle of the street to rest.

When we finally got him out of the street he walked a good long while smacking a different leaf on everything in his path till he got tired again and sat down on the curb to rest again. That was when we finally decided it was time to go.

We had a lot of fun. Tanner loved the leaves on the ground, the rock walls that he could touch, and the giraffes and monkeys the best.
