Cincinnati ZOO!




Today we decided that it was a good day to go to the Cincinnati Zoo! The weather forecast said a chance of rain, and 80 degrees...so we thought we would chance it. It turned out to be a beautiful day (minus the humidity) and it was nice and sunny!

Gavin's favorite was probably the cat house. Since he has a cat (and LOVES him) I knew he would like to look at the kitty's. He just studied them the entire time we were there. The next place he liked was the insect house (Griffin's favorite). He would just study the bugs that moved around...and occasionally he tried to grab them. Griffin even go to "pet" a little hissing roach (I know, sounds nasty, and it was...but Griffin thought it was cool:) We got to see polar bears, black bears, monkeys, gorillas, birds, elephants, giraffes, insects, turtles, and an armadillo. Gav especially liked watching the armadillo because he ran so fast!

We at lunch at the zoo...any guesses where??? Yep, Skyline! Gavin had his first taste of a coney. Of course he liked it, and Griffin? He ate an ENTIRE cheese coney himself:)

After lunch we headed to the train. Gavin was getting a little bit bored of being held or in the stroller, but as soon as we got on the train, he was mesmerized! Both him and Griffin LOVED the train, and just watched everything we would pass by.
At the end of the day (for us that is 1:30pm) Gavin fell asleep in the stroller while eating his snack. It was really fun to take them to the zoo! Thanks Erica, Griffin and Grandma:)
