Grandpa’s Rights!

It seems only right that Grandpa Bowen (and that isn’t Paul’s dad) should be the first one to take his granddaughter to the zoo. He let Jennifer and me tag along!

Leah didn’t look too excited . .. . yet!  She just didn’t know what was in store for her with these strange people she couldn’t remember.

Once we got there, she still didn’t look too enthusiastic.100_8548

Once she had the whole world at her fingertips, she started griining

And that was only the beginning.  We headed off to see animals.  We weren’t sure if she was checking out the animals or us!

Paul finally got to hold her, but she still wasn’t too sure about him. (I think they look great together!)

We found barnyard animals to enjoy which Leah seemed pretty pleased about.

She like the play area and wanted to “walk” through the tunnel with her mom’s help. . . even one shoed!100_8562_edited-1

We stopped the adventure to grab a bite to eat.  She started with baby food but once the French fries came . . .

She took as many as she could hold . . . 100_8566

and ate every one of them!

Paul “tried” to carry her on his shoulders but she was NOT happy with that!

I’m pretty sure we saw a bunch of animals, but how could they be anywhere as interesting as MY granddaughter?

Da Zoo

Any one who knows us, knows that no trip is complete without a trip to the zoo.  So where did we go on our last Monday?  You got it. . . the Toronto Zoo

Armed with binoculars and knee braces, we took on the ridiculous large and very spread out zoo.

There was a cool butterfly garden

We crossed the “equator”

My feet tell me we walked every inch of that place.  I’m not sure I’ll ever be the same.
