On Friday morning, Luis and I took Bibi & Grandpa Sandy to one of our favorite places - the Zoo. It was a beautiful day (after many, many weeks of not-beautiful days!). Of course, our first stop was to the carousel - where Sandy joined Luis. The attendant gave them two rides for the price of one. Luis rode the nest (his favorite) the first time, and then a horse after that. The carousel makes me a bit dizzy, so I was happy to let Sandy go with him. The pictures don't quite do Sandy's smile justice - he appeared to be having a GREAT time!
Luis still likes to look at the map, carry it around, and consult it from time to time. He still has no idea how to read it.
Bibi treated Luis to a pony ride at the zoo.
Bibi, Sandy, and Luis spent some time watching the koi (?) fish swim in the big above-ground take. Luis spends a bit of time there every time we come to the zoo.
Luis was pleased to show Bibi how well he can climb the turtle statue!
Luis loves this "spiders web" in the kids zoo. He climbs all over it. I was a little surprised to look over and see this:
I have never seen Luis hang like this - upside down - from any climbing apparatus before. But it wasn't the last time either; just today Luis was working on a similar move at one of the parks near our house.
All of the animals were out, which was nice. We saw the tiger walk right in front of us at the tiger exhibit, saw the giraffes, elephants, monkeys, etc. (Well, the turtles weren't out - it was a chilly day.) But I think what we enjoyed most was listening to the monkeys. They were making all kinds of noises singing out to each other and responding. We stayed and listened for a bit, but could still him them over in the kids zoo!
