The Detroit Zoo

We had loose plans to take a trip to the Detroit Zoo on Sunday, as long as the weather cooperated. Carter talked about it for days and was ecstatic when we left church and said that we were FINALLY on our way to the zoo. He sings in the car when he's excited..."We going a zoo - we going a zoo!" The first thing he wanted to see was the alligator and crocodile exhibit, but NOT the snakes. Followed by tigers, lions, "gaffes" (giraffes), and all the bears. We saw everything else too, but he was most excited about those few classic zoo animals. He learned about camels in school so it was fun for him to see real camels and count their humps in English and Spanish. And I loved hearing him ask to see the "wizards" (lizards). Of course, a highlight of Carter's day was riding the train and he kept yelling "WOOO WOOO" - and who could forget the yummy frozen "wem-ade" (lemonade) that Carter ate all by himself?! It was such a great day spent together as a family of 3 - something that will only be true for the next 4ish weeks. I feel so blessed to have these happy and healthy boys in my life! Life is good :)
