Mathias goes to the zoo

On Wednesday, Glennpa came to visit again, and so did my sister Danielle. So many visitors! Our little guy was unimpressed and just ate and napped. He seems very relaxed with strangers, a quality his daddy has and I lack. I think he's getting all our good genes!

We took Mathias to the zoo for the first time on Thursday! He was also mostly unimpressed, but we had a good time. I think it was overall a success.

The giraffe was interested, Mathias was not

The elephant exhibit (and subsequently the meerkat exhibit) was closed for construction/renovation, which was a bummer. It meant Matt and I had to get ice cream all the way up by the wolves instead, but that was okay; we got the closest to the wolves we've ever been before!

The wolf viewing area turned into a bit of a parents-feeding-babies room, but we didn't mind, because Mathias was hungry too (and, you know, we love babies now).

After we got done at the zoo, we stopped by the house and let our puppies out so they didn't soil their kennels, then visited my mom. She has a litter of kittens and I talked Matt into letting me claim one so that our kitty Lucy has a minion to help her plan counterattacks against the puppies. So, yay for kitties! And the zoo! And babies! And also Red Robin, which Matt and I had for lunch. I love me some Red Robin. Seriously.
