Zoo Trip

One of the hardest parts of summer is finding something to entertain yourself and your child with all day. I mean, we spend a good amount of time playing inside with trucks or watching movies, but sometimes you just have to get out. Today we decided to go to the Hattiesburg Zoo since we're only 30 minutes away now. I must say that I remember it being much better. Didn't there used to be animals there? Anyway, I brought my camera becaues I was sure I'd take pictures of us at the zoo. Yeah...don't know how those moms do it. Even with Eric there it takes all my energy to keep him walking around the zoo and we don't get to take many pictures.

This was technically yesterday, but my "cool dude" likes to wear his sunglasses this way. When I turn them around he tells me that they're upside down. Hey, whatever. Not a battle I choose to fight. Plus, it's pretty cute.

 Eric and Kaleb walking to the zoo. Kaleb has started chewing his fingers lately. Don't know what that's all about.

Waiting to board the train. He wanted to ride the train since we walked in the gate.

Waiting for the train to start. Now, I don't know what I looked like as a kid, but I imagine it was something like this...haircut and everything.

He was really excited about the train. Until the whistle blew. It was pretty loud and it scared him. He spent the rest of the ride like this. Not gonna lie. I liked it.

"Looking" at the alligator. He didn't want to let go long enough to wave and barely looked around. Oh well.

After the train we tried to go to the splash pad because he really wanted to play in the water. Once we got his shoes, socks, and shirt off he wouldn't even go in. He just kept looking at it. So that didn't really work out. Now, instead of napping away, he's in his crib talking to himself. I was sure he'd pass out, but no luck yet.
