The Zoo

Ahh the zoo. We got a membership this summer and have loved living close to the zoo. This past week, with a grandma in tow, we headed on over to enjoy some of the cooler fall weather. Usually he rides in the stroller with just a few get-out-and-roam breaks. Well, not this time. He RAN all the way down the path from the top of the zoo to the exit. That is the entire length of the zoo. I can't say for sure but I'd guess it's at LEAST a quarter of a mile. Not a huge feat, unless you are only 31 inches tall and your legs are taking 3 steps for every one step everyone else takes. It was a fun run for him, complete with a kind of "auuuuhhhh" noise that turned into a "auh auh auh auh auh auh" with every little jog. He took a few stops to check things out but quickly pointed his chubby finger down the path and off he went, jowls jiggling and happy as a clam.
