Daddy and Jude looking at the alligators. In case you're unaware, I have the most amazing husband in the world. He did most of the hauling around of Jude and checked in with me a lot to make sure I had enough water and ask if I needed to rest. I'm seriously so blessed to have such a thoughtful husband.
See what I mean by not quite wide awake? This was at the first exhibit we saw - the poor thing could barely keep his eyes open.
Noah (Jude's sweet cousin) and Jude:
Shawn thinks this picture is funny because it looks like Jude has a man's arm and is trying to give coffee to the alligator. I think it's funny because you can see Jude's hair in the back that looks like we tease it. We don't, it's just the result of the car seat and stroller - but the 80's would be proud by the height that is achieved.
Jude's absolute favorite exhibit was the gorillas! They would run and bang the glass - scaring both Jude and Noah and making them giggle in delight.
An afternoon thunderstorm rolled in while we were visiting the gorillas, so we were glad this particular exhibit had shelter. The family hung out for about half an hour while the kiddos got their gorilla-watching fill. Once the worst of the storm had passed, we braved the rain for a few other exhibits and experiences.
Finally, on the way back to the car at the end of our day, the little one crashed.

It was a long, fun day and we were so glad to share the experience with Shawn's parents and sister. We're glad to know that we have a fan of the zoo and can't wait to go back once we're a family of four!
