A Day with Rivers at the Zoo

A few pictures before the zoo pictures.  Blair is flying Rivers before bedtime.  Fun, laughter and giggles. Below the picture speaks for itself!  Night, night Rivers!























 Grandpa and Rivers!
 Here we go off to the zoo.  My biggest concern was Rivers can really run and I can't (bad knee).  Mike was in charge of catching the runner.  We never had to.  He stayed right with us the whole time.
 Here we go, out of the stroller and on the way!


 Mike wanted to listen to all the speakers by the animals.  Rivers did not want to so Mike had to sacrifice that part of things.  2 year olds don't have a huge attention span. He didn't mind at all!
 Rivers walked right up to this elephant and gave the trunk a pet like this elephant was the real deal.  "I am petting him!"

 The statues of animals were more fascinating than the real animals.  Not many of the real ones were moving around but Rivers could climb on these and touch them.


 More statues to climb.

 After I got my picture taken with Rivers he said Mike needed to come get a picture too.  Mike wanted to hold Rivers but no doing.  He had to climb up the gorilla in just the right way and sit on it.





 Snack time!




 Come on Grandma!  Come on! I was lagging behind!
 After a long, fabulous day at the zoo it was time for some lunch before we hit the road home!  We had so much fun taking Rivers to the zoo.  He is a precious little boy and a blessing to us all.

 This was Rivers cheese face for the picture.  Say cheese!!! Not sure what kind of face mine was!

Big bears are around and Rivers notices the lizard!
