It's was a Zoo afternoon

After picking Collin up at school this afternoon, I thought it would be fun to go to the zoo for a few hours. This trip would be different than the others because I cam prepared with Collin's swim gear in case he wanted to play in the water park in the Children's museum. We stopped and looked at the birds and then zebra's on the way to the children's section. Collin liked watching the zebra eat the hay. He kept putting his hand near his mouth and said "zebra eat".

We then headed to the children's section of the zoo. He wanted to walk instead of sitting in his stroller....which is normal for him these days. As soon as he rounded the corner, he saw the water park, yelled "water" and started running towards the gate. I quickly changed him, he went inside and started running threw the water. He found a frog that spit water out periodically. At first, he could not figure out when the water would come out and he would get caught with is face or body right in the middle of it. He met a few buddies while he was there and tried to get them to run through the water. He had a blast and I let him play around in the water until he got tired.....which he did eventually did. I dried him off and we went to play on the playground equipment next to the water park.

After leaving the zoo, he wanted to ride the train just outside the zoo.....so we did. He had a great time watching the cars go by, pointing out the swings and water. Every once in awhile, he could see the front of the train and he said "toot toot" or "choo choo". We checked out the gift shop after the ride but did not find anything that I thought we needed.

After the train ride, we met Ashley and Ella for dinner at Luby's. He tried jello for the first time and did not like it. I tried to get him to eat it again and he was not even interested....even when he saw Ella eat it.
