First Trip to the Zoo

Today we took Owen to the Baltimore Zoo for his first time. We did the mini zoo in Bermuda, but here he got to see many more animals. It was quite a warm day, but was nice to be outside. Owen really seemed to enjoy himself. We took the stroller, and since many of the exhibits are behind fences, we were lifting him in and out of the stroller (which normally isn't Owen's favorite thing). But he willingly went in and out.

He loved the giraffes and also the monkeys. But of all the animals we all enjoyed the Polar Bear, Magnet, who just swam and swam around his tank. He looked like a giant Sam Dog, swimming along. Owen loved it, and we even went back to see the Polar Bear again before we left.

There was also a great petting zoo, but Owen didn't touch this time, but did stare intently as the cows mooed and Daddy pet the animals. It was great to see him so excited and happy. Didn't even care that he missed a bottle and was late for his nap. He was very happy until about 30 feet from the car, so we had excellent timing!
