Our Trip to the Zoo

Nathan had today off, we are having beautiful weather, and one of his friends was in DC so we decided we would drive in and go to the zoo. We were very glad that Evan fell asleep in the car on the way. He only takes naps in the afternoons now so we were worried he would be super cranky, but then he just passed out.
When we got to the zoo, we let Evan out of his stroller so he could move around a bit. I think this was his favorite part. To not be strapped in.

There was a new baby in the gazelle pin. A little female that was born on October 1st.

We went and saw the Elephants again. They are one of Evan's favorites. His new thing is to make noises. He hasn't really learned any new words, but he has started quacking, mooing, choo..chooing, and barking. So there was our little boy, barking at the elephants.


He was not happy to have to leave the elephants.......
Those are real tears.....
But he liked the Mongolian horse....
The gorillas also had a new baby. Evan enjoyed watching her climb and crawl around. It was so funny to watch her and her mother. The baby would climb over the edge and the Mom would reach down and grab her after she had been hanging there for a little while.
Here she is crawling around....

Then we saw some turtles... Evan wanted to jump in with them.

Evan kept pointing to the Triceratops and yelling. Good thing it isn't real.

Then we went to a giant pizza and let Evan run around for awhile, which he was happy about. he isn't a big fan of always being strapped in the stroller.

This is baby Jack after we got back in the car and were deciding where to go for dinner. His smile is so sweet! We didn't get to many pictures of him today, but he was a good boy!
