Slacking

I realized today that Sunday, I started to update this site but never finished..oppps!

So Saturday, Pat, Alex, and I visited the zoo. We went early and enjoyed having the zoo to ourselves (to some extent). Alex's favorite animal that day was the Peacock. There was one near the Penn house and Alex enjoyed talking to it. I don't know if it was due to Alex's chatter, but the bird would call to Alex and then opened up his feathers (check out the web album!). After the peacock and the polar bears, of course, we went to the children's area. There Alex took his first pony ride. He looked miserable riding but wanted back on as soon as he got off. Luckily it was cleaning time with the goat and Alex got to brush the goats. After a lot of hand washing, we had a small picnic near the pond. Alex did really well eating with all the distractions and then started to feed the geese his pretzels. On our way out of the park, we stopped in the small mammal area and saw a 2 toed sloth and then watched the tortoise labor around their area. Thankfully Alex was exhausted and fell asleep on the ride home
After Alex's nap, he and I visited Mimi and went to the pool while Pat studied. Alex loved the water and enjoyed showing Mimi how to play Humpty Dumpty. I believe a good time was had by all :) That nite, Alex went to slepe very easily!

Sunday... Alex and I were exhausted. Pat and Alex went to Mimi's to clean up stuff from her basement (5 year old stuff) and then we all just relaxed.
