First Trip to the Zoo

Today Emmett went to the SF Zoo for the first time. While it served as a nice variation to our typical Friday routine, I think that the concept was a bit lost on my sweet 10.5 month old. Six months from now the experience should be a bit more engaging. Today the highlights for Emmett included:
-the water fountain with seagulls
-the sprinkler system
-the peacock that happened to cross the sidewalk six feet in front of us
-the ring-tailed lemurs (they actually move quickly and are easy to spot with their black and white tails)
-pink flamingos (maybe it was the stench more than the sight)
-plants two feet in front of him (hello boy, we have these in our backyard!)
-man-made streams and waterfalls

Yes, even the giraffes and zebras were apparently "ho-hum" to Mr. Man. Guess we'll stick with the neighborhood cats, dogs, birds, and the wild animals in 2D until E develops a more refined appreciation for these rare beasts! All in all, it was a fun trip, including a Merry-Go-Ride with his sweetheart, Jacqueline.
