First Trip to the Zoo

I had been feeling like a bad mom for not taking Corbin to the zoo yet, so you can imagine how happy I was to hear that Granny Reed, aunt Jess, Brett and Lisa were taking him and Brycen to see the animals today. I was even happier when I got to work to find out that it was slow enough for me to go down and meet them there and enjoy the experience. To top it all off the fall leaves were absolutely AMAZING! I had the most enjoyable ride there in my car alone with the sunroof open and the radio blaring. I even heard the song "killing me softly" by the Fuji's that reminded me of a funny story between Mindy and I that we have ultimately determined it was one of those "had to be there moments," but I sure got a good laugh out of it.

Anyhow, the zoo was so much fun. We got to see lots of baby animals including the new baby elephant "Zuri", the baby giraffe, and several different types of baby monkeys. Corbin was really having a good time looking around at all the animals, eating ice cream, churro's, and popcorn, and as usual running around like a wild man. He especially enjoyed riding on the train. Grandma was so nice and bought Corbin and Brycen these obnoxious roaring tigers that they had a blast running around with. Overall, it was a really good time and I am SOOOOO glad that I got to go and be a part of it. Thanks Granny!
