Gotta love the zoo!!

We had a great time with our company this weekend. While all going to the zoo did not work out, the Teubners were able to go. It was great weather Saturday morning and we got there when it opened. It was such a joy to ask K what animals did he see and he would tell you!! He really liked the meerkats (kept telling the to "Come here!") and, of course, the elephants! I also packed his animal picture book so that we could show him some new animals, like the ostrich and kookaburra bird. The funniest thing happened when we were in the penguin exhibit. This was the first time that it wasn't totally crowded so K was able to get up on the ledge and walk around a bit. There was one penguin swimming. He kept swimming right past K's face. That just made him giggle. He also kept telling the penguin, "Hi!" C stood by him but I took the time to sit back and just enjoy watching my little guy. He is so amazing to us!! We sit back often and ask each other what did we do to deserve him? I don't think we will ever know!
Another funny happened when we were watching the kangaroos. There was a mom there with her two boys, the oldest was around 4 or 5. She pointed out the kangaroos and the oldest by said something to her that we could not hear. She let out a long breath and said, "I don't know who his archenemies are." We died laughing!!
