~ZOO DATE WITH MOM~

This week has been busy. Sometimes I feel so bad pulling Jace here and there as I get all that I need to done. So I decided to take him to the Zoo, just he and I. It was so great. I could let him choose what to do and where to go all morning, and it was so pleasant. Jace loves this seal. Here he is trying to put his baseball cap on him.

Big hugs!

Riding the carousel. Sometimes he loves it and sometimes he doesn't.
Like I said, he chose what he did that day and this day he chose to play in the splash park with full clothes on. I didn't come prepared with a change of clothes for him so thankfully the sun was out, ready to dry him off.
All finished and soaked from the water.

We always love the cows.

We spent just a split second petting the goats.....

.....and most of our time climbing on these.

Hanging on the slides. (Favorite picture of the day.)

This is my newest picture that I will duplicate each time we go to the zoo now. He is old enough now to stay there and understands to put his arms out and hold them there.

Our "regular" nest picture! He chose to sit ON the eggs this time.

I asked Jace what is favorite thing was at the zoo and he said "the elephants and the giraffes and the tigers." (We didn't see tigers.)

Crazy how big giraffes are.

We had lots of fun and look forward to our next "Date" together. He is growing up and even though I love seeing all the things he is learning, it is so sad in so many ways. Lately I just want to capture and remember every moment because I feel like it is all slipping by.
