Lions, Tigers, and Birds...

(Baby B on his walk around Capitol Park, Duck & Goose in tow...)

We have had some pretty good weather recently, so Noah & I wanted to get out of the house for the day. We decided to take Blake on a walk around Capitol Park followed by some lunch and a trip to the zoo. Nothing too eventful happened on our walk around the park, we did see some squirrels that were eating some oranges that fell off the most amazing orange trees! After our walk we went to Original Pete's and Blake got his first taste of 'people' food! Noah is proud to say that Blake's first food was pizza!!! Well, not exactly... I dipped my finger in some pizza sauce and let him lick it. It didn't go over too well, he made a yucky face and that was that! Guess you start with runny rice cereal for a reason! ha ha!

After lunch we took Blake to the zoo, which was his very first trip there! He LOVED it, especially the birds. He loved the flamingoes and these big black weird looking birds that were playing with a box. I swear he could have watched them forever!

He got up-close with a giraffe who decided that food on the other side of the fence tasted a lot better & we got to watch the lions in their den. He had such a busy day he was passed out by the time we hit the gift shop. But no worries, mommy picked him out a baby giraffe to take home!
