Boo At The Zoo

On October 23rd, Eli and I met up with his Uncle Rick, Aunt Heather, and cousins for some fun at the NC Zoo. Every year they host "Boo at the Zoo", which is basically an opportunity for kids to dress-up in their costumes, play some games, and listen to some kid-centered music. We didn't dress the kids up, but that didn't matter much, as there were plenty of other things to keep them busy. We had the best weather too, sunny and the perfect temperature for being outside. Eli really enjoyed seeing the animals. (I think it was nap-time for most of them when we were walking around to the different exhibits.) His favorite animals were the puffins. He would giggle up a storm as they splashed around in the water. He also loved riding on the tram to the other part of the zoo. (The NC Zoo is one of the nation's largest zoo's--in acreage) I think he liked the feeling of the wind in his face and hair. It was too cute!

After spending a great day with his aunt, uncle, and cousins, Eli was pretty wiped. He fell asleep within minutes of us leaving the zoo's parking lot! We even stopped to get a quick bite to eat in town before heading back and he slept through the entire meal in his bucket seat! (A huge shout-out goes to Uncle Rick for lugging it inside the restaurant for me!) Suffice it to say, we all had a great day and look forward to taking Daddy with us for our next zoo visit.
