Zoo Trip

We haven't taken a family trip to the zoo for a while now, and since it was so darn cold out yesterday we thought we would spend the day looking at the dolphins and such. It turn out we have a budding aquariest in the family! Evan LOVED all of the sea creatures. We ended up spending about two hours in the dolphin/shark/aquariums section. Evan is smiling in these photos because I bribed him with a sucker. That's right, I bribe my two-year old. I want to look back on this time in his life and have at least a few pictures with Evan looking like he is having a good time (he is the king of not smiling for photos.)What's that coming...ahhhh! It's a shark! Evan and Emily both thoroughly enjoyed the touch-tank.But what got Evan to laugh the most was the tidal pool - not the anemones or the starfish - but the loud rush of water every 30 seconds.
"Wook, Mom - a tuwdol! He swimmin', he swimmin'!"The poor little tyke was so pooped out from our trip he fell asleep before we left the zoo parking lot! As you can see, he didn't even get a chance to finish his sucker (aka: the bribe.)
