Brett has a special Star Chart where he can earn stars for good choices and behavior, and when the chart is full he gets to pick a favorite place to go as a family. This time he picked the zoo! We love going to the zoo so we were extra excited to fulfill Brett's wishes :-) There are about 4 or 5 zoos within an hour of driving, so each year we pick a different one to go. This summer we chose the Toledo Zoo, a favorite from when I was a child.
As soon as we got there Brett asked for a map. He loves figuring out where we are and where we should go :-)
Watching the seals flip and turn in the water. These guys were huge!
The Polar Bears were one of my favorites!
Look at that face! So cute!
We also saw giraffes, zebras, elephants, flamingos, tons of birds in the Bird Avery, gorillas, monkey's, penguins, reptiles, and more!
These two were in love :-)
We got a kick out of watching this ape haul his blanket everywhere :-)
Brett nuzzling up to my big belly.....26 weeks along!
How tall are YOU? Brett was a little taller than the Bald Eagle and Kyle was the size of an ostrich.
Another favorite of mine was the 'Keet Retreat' where you could feed the parakeets. Very cool!
Brett loved the penguins! One of his favorites every time :-)
We had fun watching the zoo keeper feed these hungry little fellows.
After walking around for over 4 hours, Kyle and I were BEAT. Brett, on the other hand, was begging to stay longer! We promised him a new stuffed penguin before we left because he lost his favorite one when we visited WI earlier this summer. He affectionately named him "Penguin" (just like his first one) and he has been sleeping with him every night :-)
