All of these "firsts" are so fun. First time to the zoo, first time to the Igloo, first time in the pool etc. Everything is so exciting when it's with your first kid... I can only hope to take as many pictures of the next babe as I have w/ Henry.
Last week I decided to head to Lafayette for a quick visit with Jamie & Holly (and the boys!) and also to see my grandparents & cousin visiting from Florida. We started the day at my grandpa's pool for Henry's first time "swimming". He liked to splash around and kick his feet. I was just happy he enjoyed the water and hasn't developed any sort of fear from the two inches of bathwater he refuses to sit in :)
After the pool, we met up with Jamie, Holly, Barrett & Eli for a tour of the Colombian Park Zoo and of course, some ice cream at the Igloo. I couldn't believe how much they have changed the zoo since I was a kid. My grandparents used to take us all of the time to the zoo and to fish. I have so many great memories there! I'm so happy they have updated things and kept it open so I can experience it all over again with Henry.
We loved all of the interactive areas that let the kids really enjoy and see the animals. Henry was fearless when he got into the goat pen. He was grabbing their tails and rubbing their backs... So funny to see them follow him around! We also saw a llama, wallabies that could hop amongst us, roosters, sea otters & a blue tongued lizard.
It was such a great afternoon & I can't wait to plan our next gathering!
^^I LOVE how excited Eli is for our group photo!!^^
