This would be our first time for Brody to we decided to bring along his bear backpack - a.k.a a baby harness and leash. Brody is still not used to it, nor is he fond of it. But...it makes us feel a little better and hopefully, with more practice, he'll get the hang of it.
In our mind, we had a totally different idea as to how Brody would react to the amazing animals that we would be so close to. I mean, giraffes, bears, anteaters, monkeys! A kids dream, right? WRONG! Drew and I were amazed at all these creatures, Brody however had his own favorite things at the zoo:
Plants (seriously...we have them in our backyard)
Birds (Which I think are a waste of time to look at)
Stairs (He found these next to the bear exhibit-yes BEARS and he would rather stairs)
Squirrel (not a flying one, just a regular old park one)
Statue (at least it was a statue of an animal...he gets 1/2 credit)
Although, for my active little boy, I think his favorite part was being outside and able to run around. There were 15 people in the whole zoo so with the place to ourselves...Brody could really explore. He walked...and walked....and walked!
The fresh air was so good for all 3 of us and it was a perfect family day. Below are some pictures from our trip:
