Grandma O found this wagon for Travis at a garage sale. Worked perfect for the zoo! Travis won't ride in a stroller much anymore - he thinks he is too big. They were in and out of the wagon....mostly out and it was a great place to through water, treats, etc. There is even a little compartment under the seat where we stashed extra wipes, sunscreen, and the necessities.
Travis was intrigued by this.
Looking at monkeys.
Baylie showed Travis how to bawk bawk like a chicken.
Such a cute shot of Baylie - had to put it in here!
Lion - always sleeping at the zoo. About this time Travis was looking pretty tired too. We were pushing past his nap and it was so hot and lots of walking. I was worried I might have pushed too much at this point and thought maybe I'd have to carry him the rest of the way.
Then a pitstop in the airconditioned snack area perked Travis right up. Each kid got their own order of dippin' dots ice cream. However, they both liked to take from each other's cup. Must be a universal thing - kids think other people's food tastes better! Neither of them minded - good sharing. Both kids ran around and played for quite a while in this snack area -- recharged to finish walking the zoo!
Travis loved this spray water bottle Baylie's mom brought. It cooled the kids off. In fact, when we got home, I got ours out and it has occupied Travis for a long time. It's his favorite 'toy' since then. We've had to start enforcing the rule that the water bottle stays outside on the porch though. Also, he doesn't automatically understand that we can't spray Jessie- he thinks she should like it just like him!
Lots of pointing!
Baylie teaches Travis how to say Peewee....the petting zoo area smelled.
Two minutes after we pull out of the zoo, he's fast asleep and had a good long nap. It's great to be a kid!
