Tuesday: I took Cal to the zoo today! Just ME and CAL!!! You see, Erin was at a special "summer" 3-day special pre-school event from 9-noon today (tomorrow and the next as well). So we delivered Erin to school and drove over to the ZOO.
I brought along my old umbrella stroller because Cal likes to run around, but he favors being carried--"Carry me!" he will demand! No can do, young Cal--this grandma is getting older by the minute. Hence, the stroller. Obviously, I let him in and out of the stroller as he pleased.
Cal is the cutest little person. INDEPENDENT to the core, truly his own little person. I love him passionately. He is super interesting to be with. You just never know what his next move will be.
He LOVES steering wheels and driving ... maybe he is a future INDY-500 racer! This tractor isn't much of an example of that--but dear Cal was so pleased to drive it anyway.
I think the meerkats were our highlight today. They were very active and entertaining.
We rode the funicular up, up, up the hill and went searching for LIONS and TIGERS ... but alas, they were NOT very active and in hiding the whole time.
We were at the zoo a little less than two hours. Grandma Carol pushed the stroller over most of the boardwalks available, up and down hill, and was completely wiped out by 11:20 ... at which time we returned to the car and took a very round-about way to return to Erin's school by noon. Thankfully, little Cal fell asleep a few minutes before we arrived to pick up Erin. He is a little honey.
