First Trip to the ZOO

Today was a special treat for us - Daddy unexpectedly had the day off  and it was UPMC day at the ZOO! We took advantage of a gorgeous afternoon, enjoyed a picnic lunch and took lots of pictures with our long distance lens. Downside: Owen missed a few naps and although he was an angel while we were at the zoo - he got overtired and wouldn't go to sleep until almost 10pm. Our fault - but worth it!

The physician tent had a nice picnic lunch and cute activities for kids - they had safari hats and let the kiddos take a picture "driving" a cardboard safari truck. Owen is a GREAT driver ;)

The zoo was also celebrating the baby elephants 1st birthday - there was a birthday party with cake and ice cream. You could also get your picture taken with the elephant (the REAL elephant!) but the line was WAAAY to long to wait in with a tired baby. Owen was much happier just watching the other kids from inside his stroller.

Baby Owen is sucking his bottom lip in, we have another tooth on the way

Owen tries watermelon for the first time - it was a HIT! Great for a teething boy!

I'm sure this was the first of MANY more trips to the zoo for little O. We all had a great day and can't wait to go back when it's a little less crowded.
