We decided to celebrate Lundi Gras today at the zoo. We have been wanting to go back its been awhile since our last trip. Its always hard to go it seems during the week either Colby is in school or since they aren't open on Mondays that means we can't go a lot. Today they were open with it being a holiday and the weather is gorgeous so I told Austin that we should really go! Colby was excited too when he heard us talking about the zoo.
Its so great having a membership we can go for a couple hours and not feel like we are missing anything. We decided to do things today that we haven't done with Colby. We went straight to the Reptile House. He really liked that! He loved all the snakes, lizards, and turtles! Typical boy! He was saying oooh cool the whole time! After that we went over to the Sea Lions. We were lucky because they were about to do a show. We watched some of it but Colby's attention span isn't quite to the point of sitting there for very long. All he wanted to do was climb the steps and stand on the back of the theater. I was so nervous he was going to fall. After we left and were heading back to the bathroom the train passed us by and Colby kept saying "train" so we knew we had to try to ride it. We hit it just right because by the time we got to the area where the bathrooms are the train was unloading and reloading...so while Austin took Colby to the potty I found us seats on the train. Colby was so excited. This was the first time for all of us to ride it. It was actually pretty neat because you saw most of the zoo. The last thing we did while we were there was let Colby play on the playground. We can't ever leave the zoo without letting him play. It was such a nice day I am so glad we chose to go though b/c I don't know when we will get to go back again and the weather was so nice. It wasn't crowded either which was awesome!
We enjoyed the rest of the day at home we had lots to do around the house plus we all took a short rest. We are in the process of converting Colby's room from baby to big boy. We had to take apart his crib and changing table. It was very bittersweet doing this. I can't believe how fast these 2 1/2 years have gone. It seems like yesterday Austin and I were putting his crib together. I am excited though about his new room. I know he will love the bunk beds and the new "truck" bedding! All in all it was a wonderful day and I really enjoyed spending time with Austin and Colby especially since Austin has been working so much lately with Mardi Gras!
