Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day! We went to the zoo in the morning and then went to Bobby's Dairy Dip in the afternoon. Noah always loves the zoo and we thought we'd try the carousel again (last time he got scared at the last minute and we left the ride right as it was starting up). But first, we went to see the elephants and giraffes. They tend to be favorites and we got quite a treat! We were there right as the zoo opened and the handler was out with the elephants and they went for a walk around their large enclosure. We don't usually see them too close up, but they went on their walk and came right in front of us! After watching them for a while and then watching the always friendly giraffes, Noah rode the carousel with Daddy. He was cautious in the beginning (you can see that he's not even sitting on the giraffe at first), but then we ended up riding it 4 times on lots of different animals. He just couldn't get enough! Of course, then we saw the zebras, tigers, baby tigers that aren't so little anymore, cougars and some new favorites - the porcupine and the anteater! We had a great morning at the zoo and as always, Noah can't wait to go back.




Then he had his first very own ice cream cone in the afternoon. Made a great big mess, but it was a lot of fun to watch him try to keep up with the drips in the hot sun!
