To the Zoo

Thur night Grandad Y and Grandma C came in from Chicago to visit. They gave Gigi the day off on Friday and they took care of LR on their own while Daddy and I went to work. They went to the park in the afternoon and they put him in the swing first thing. Then they spent some time playing around the tunnel on the jungle-gym. They had a great time, but the heat had him dragging, so they came home to put him down for his afternoon nap. He surprised them by perking up as soon as they hit the air conditioning. He didn't nap for another few hours. Then LR surprised them again with how difficult he could be on the changing table. Otherwise I came home to a happy little rugger. The reported that he took a long morning nap and a short afternoon one. He ate more than they thought he would and he pretty much kept them busy all day.

On Saturday LR took a short morning nap and then we headed off to the zoo! Unfortunately, Daddy had to work, so he missed out. LR got a chance to see the flamingos, a reindeer, and sleeping jaguar cubs. So cute! It was pretty hot out, so LR faded quickly, but it was a small zoo, so we pretty much got to see everything. Grandad Y carried LR most of the way since the stroller was too low for him to see much. He napped as soon as we got home and then had a hearty dinner followed by a great bath - mohawk and all!
