It was a zoo of a day

A couple of weeks ago, I had to take BOTH boys to the doctor for sick visits - not fun.  Trevor had a follow up from his 18 month checkup because he of course had a slight ear infection back then and Brody had not been able to hear for the past couple of weeks.  Brody's prognosis was that it was probably allergies the week prior but then it had moved to a sinus infection.  We tried Claritin and a fever reducer to see if it would get better but had to resort to antibiotics.

Since we have had all of this sickness in our house for awhile I felt that the boys were in need to get out so to the zoo we went.  I thought the weather was supposed to be nice but I guess I wasn't notified of the change because it started drizzling when we got there.  I was going to just leave but it finally stopped after about 10 minutes and it still didn't seem like we should stay - but we have an annual pass so it would be fine if we just saw a few things.

Brody's first animal of choice was to see the lions.  Trevor loves to make all the animal sounds.  Lions and monkeys are his favorite sound to make.  Although his monkey imitation is really a hand movement.  The boys did great and of course Brody is ready to go back when it is sunny.  The good thing about the weather that day was there was NO ONE there.

It is SOOO difficult to get a good picture of the 2 of them.

A trip to the zoo isn't complete unless we ride the merry go round.

This was the first time we had walked out on the dock and of course not a great picture.

They must have recently renovated the Australia section because we had never seen this bird before - Carraway.  Brody was pretty interested in it's big feet that would kick you and really hurt you.

This was the first time we had seen the kangaroos here - they were all interested in eating at the time.
