Happy Labor Day!

Hooray for family time! We loaded up the goldfish crackers and sippy cups and headed to the zoo. The best part was seeing Ryan recognize animals from his books.Our crazy boy managed to give himself a head injury within the first 5 minutes of freedom from the stroller. The forehead lump didn't diminish that handsome face.Since Ryan and I wake up at the crack of dawn every day, we were one of the first families standing in line when the zoo opened its gates. We headed straight for Africa, where I had an intimate moment with a curious meerkat.
Ryan was fascinated by the real life rhinos, elephants, zebras, and giraffes.
Being first in line also means you get to feed the giraffes!
He was such a gentle sweetie, but his tongue was as long as my arm!
Once it got ridiculous hot (as opposed to our baseline suffocating hot), we stripped down for the fountains.
Ryan was fearless, running through the water, spraying himself in the face, dancing, and cracking up at my squeals.
The best part was at the end of our visit when Mom and I rode the roller coaster.
That's me in front with my arms up- I love it!
