The Zoo

Mommies, have you ever opened your car trunk and stared in disbelief at the dark space that should have been filled by your stroller? Not only was the stroller missing but all the essentials that live in the pockets and basket were not there either! This is how our zoo adventure began.

At least I had my 'monkey harness' and a few diapering essentials to stick in my purse, but it was going to be a long walk in the sun!

Liam was a trooper. We did borrow one of the zoo's rental strollers (sorry family from Deluth, but finders keepers!) for a short while but Liam was really happy to run and fall and get back up and run again.

We saw the monkey and the tiger and the tail end of a hippo and the ears and eyes of her little baby. Much of what else we saw were zoo vehicles and those were the highlights. BUS! TRUCK! BUS! Those and the gift shop. "Open" is to Liam as "open sesame" was to Ali Baba. He made out with a new truck which I artfully substituted for the armful of expensive stuffed kitties.

Filled with $4 cookies, he managed to fall asleep on the short ride home. Now do I sit here, in the idyling car for 2 hours to ensure that I get a break or risk waking him?
