Yesterday was summer and today it is Fall in Michigan.
It was a cool 60 degrees and though the weatherman predicted rain it held off and was just kind of cloudy, which made it a perfect day for the Zoo! Although Ajax went last summer this was the first time in a long time for both Dave and myself. Honestly I can’t really remember the last time I was at the Zoo. We packed up the wagon and a lunch and headed out!
It was a great day, but Ajax is still a little young and didn’t have the patience to really see any of the animals (I thought he’d be a bit more interested as his favorite book right now is Goodnight Gorilla). The only animals he really seemed interested in were the tigers, warthogs, peacocks, and of course the squirrels. He called almost everything a “kitty” or “squirrel” and seemed quite pleased with himself. He told the tiger- “kitty bite!” and threw his wafer at the enclosure (he’s sharing).
His absolute favorite part of the zoo was the play scape. We spent a good 45 minutes there before checking out the butterfly/birdhouse, which Ajax ran right through. Really if it was up to him he would have just run all over the place. We spent a good deal of the day chasing after him.
Ajax is also getting quite the vocabulary. This morning at breakfast he kept asking Dave – “Daddy, bite please.” He wanted Dave to share his eggs, he of course didn’t want the food on his plate, but instead wanted Daves. It was pretty cute.
