Off to the Zoo!

Henry is still growing and learning like crazy. He's been working so hard, he actually fell asleep in his high chair! We all know how much this kid likes to eat, so it was a shocker to see him face down before any food arrived ...

We took him to the zoo last weekend, and he had a good time checking out at the animals. He laughed at a Wolverine (seriously ... no prodding), pet some goats, and was absolutely mesmerized by the fish. We walked into the aquarium, and he was beaming! We sat right next to the fish for 15 minutes just watching the big ones swim right past our faces. It was good times.

We checked out the manatees, but they move too slowly for him to track. We also trucked right past sleeping bears, sleeping wolves, sleeping mooses (meese?), and everything else that Henry wouldn't be able to see. Henry napped while we dealt with ridiculous food lines, and woke back up just in time to continue the adventure. What a trooper! We stayed at the zoo for 6 hours ... which astounded both of Henry's parents.
