The Zoo

Awhile back I took Cole to the Baltimore Zoo. It had been awhile since we had gone and at this age everything is a new experience. He just loved it! We covered every square inch of the place with zero breaks...I tried to beg him to stop for some food but homeboy was on a mission. He NEEDED to see it all so we did. This time the penguins put on a good show by jumping in and out of the water and swimming around. Cole really got a kick out of this and he didn't budge for at least 15minutes watching them do there thing. The Chimps once again scared the living day out of him. I get it they are huge and when a chimp comes up to the window and bangs on it...it kinda freaks me out too! The weather was great and it seemed all the animals were out and enjoying it, we got to see them all up close which was a real treat.

And now a crap load of pictures of Mama and Cole's day at the Zoo.

Awhile back we went to the Zoo,the weather was perfect and it wasn't crowded at all. We haven't been since Cole was around 9 months old so I knew it was going to be an entirely different experience this time. In fact I'm not really sure why we even bothered bringing in the stroller all this kid wanted to do was run! He ran from one animal to the next shouting out what he saw. I loved watching him experience the animals up close. When he saw the leopard sleeping he shouted "wake up tiger"...I didn't have the heart to correct him. It was just to cute.  We flew from each animal to the next and before I knew it we were headed home. I can't wait to go back!

Feeding the Giraffe..wasn't very sure about it.



The Zoo

We kicked off Mother's Day weekend Saturday by heading out to the Baltimore Zoo. I made sure Cole got in one good nap before heading out to see all the animals. We couldn't’t have picked a better day. The weather was amazing. It wasn’t super crowded. And Cole loved everything about it. He just seemed to take in everything, the animals, all the little kids and just enjoyed being outside. We weren’t overly ambitious in trying to see all the Zoo animals, I knew Cole wouldn’t last very long before getting tired so we went straight to the African Journey. It’s where all the exotic animals are exhibited. The best part …maybe more for me then Cole…was the Giraffe feeding station. You get a chance to feed a Giraffe a leaf up close and personal. I had Hubs do it with Cole and it was awesome! Cole just kept staring at the Giraffe in disbelief that it was right in front of him. Cole got to see pretty much all the animals in the African Journey except for the Lions. They were well hidden and didn’t want to come out and play. :(
We finished off the afternoon with lunch in Fells Point on the water. Cole passed out in his stroller before the food arrived. It made for a very enjoyable lunch and made me miss our city living days. It was an awesome day, I’m so ready for summer!

Couldn't resist...obviously I was the only one excited about it.Ha.
