Riley's 1st Visit to the Ft. Worth Zoo

So I'm playing catch up today...hopefully I'll actually have time to get caught up! On this and some other things!

Riley's 1st visit to the zoo went well. It was me, Kel, GiGi and Riley. And we met Jason & Emily (my work husband and our nanny), their children Camden & Rowan and Jason's Dad Pete in for a visit from the UK.

Rowan was our tour guide reading the map and telling us which way to go next and what was ahead. Camden was content to ride his Dad's shoulders, and Riley was chillin' in his Bob Stroller.

I have to admit that at 9.5 months old - the theme was definitely "can't see the forest for the trees". We'd hold him up to see the animals - say an elephant - pretty hard to miss - and Riley would be mesmerized with the wood railing!


Riley & Dad

He was even sitting face to face with a chimp and was unimpressed! People walking by were laughing at how relaxed he was with his feet hanging on the rails of the stroller.


Face to face with the chimp...and chillin' - he grabs that bar with his toes and lounges - it's funny!

See below where Emily and I busted him holding his own sippy cup too! He never tries to hold it when we're around! ;)



He was pooped out by the time we got home, but we saw the entire zoo except the Texas Wildlife part. It was a BEAUTIFUL day too! Sunny and 80, so not TOO hot yet!


This is a random gator we saw with a HUGE zit on his nose! ha! Seriously! None of the other ones had that!
