Sean was SUPER excited with all the animals that were there.(Above with his Auntie Andrea, Jamie's sister).
A lot of the animals were sleeping today, which was funny because it wasn't hot at all. It actually was my "perfect" temperature for being outdoors. I hate the heat/humidity. They were calling for 90% rain all afternoon. It drizzled for like 2 seconds some point mid-afternoon but was clear (but cloudy) the entire day otherwise. (Above Sean is with his cousin Merlyn, Andrea's son). Last time I was at Granby Zoo, with Merlyn he was 2 and a half years old. (He's turning 6 this November). It was hot and muggy when we went, and the animals were actually out. Weird!
Above is a 150 year old turtle.The secret to a long life? Eat grass.
One of my fave shots from today - the reflection of the giraffes.
Another fave shot from today, Jamie & Sean enjoying the scenery/animals.
I'm not really sure why Jamie's dad zoomed in so close for this shot, but I like it anyhow.
Mack slept in the stroller for the morning, but after lunch I wore him because he didn't really want to go back into the car seat. I don't blame him. He slept quietly in the sling for the rest of the day. He was very comfortable to wear! I am actually really enjoying the SlingRider sling.Sean was sooo exhausted from the zoo he slept the entire hour and a half car ride home. (I'm very happy about that!) Jamie had a ball game tonight, so he pretty much ran to his game upon getting in from the zoo, and I made dinner for everyone (my sister-in-law & nephew are staying with us until Tuesday as they live about 3 and a half hours away from us). It's nice to have them here - it's been a while.
So happy the weather held out today and we got to spend the day at the zoo! It was a lot of fun!
Happy Birthday Cynthia!
ps - I'm sure we'll hit the 5000th commenter this week on the blog. Stay tuned!

The zoo...kick ass!
I can't wait to see you tomorrow and meet the new mini-man!!
I love the Granby zoo! I grew up 20 min. from Granby so we went to the zoo every summer when I was little. I haven't been in years though.
The picture of Jamie and Sean is beautiful! You should frame it!
We love the zoo - can't wait to go this year - I agree, the best days to be there are the ones that threaten to rain. Last year we went on a thunderstorm day, but the thunderstorm never really materialized, however the waterpark was pretty empty due to the threat - sweet.
Great photos all around - sounds like a fun day :)

Looking good! Nice picture of you & Mack in the sling.
Sean looks like he had an awesome time! Wish I was there to see his reactions! When you go again when Mack is old enough you better invite me!!!
Wow, wonder how many years is normal for a tutrle???
looks like a great zoo day! not too hot not to cold....the turtles!
So do you like this sling better than the azure wrap? I am overwhelmed by he amopunt of carriers there are to choose from so I am starting to survey people(plus I'm not even pregnant yet).
I love the picture of Jamie and Sean. It is so natural looking. They look so happy!
Sean looks like he was having an amazing day - I especially love the picture of Jamie and Sean, they look great together and what a fantastic memory :-)
The zoo's great, and I agree it's even better when it's not TOO hot. Looks like a good time was had by all.
that looks like a very cool zoo- what a fun day!! & thank you for the happy birthday!! :))
The zoo looks like a ton of fun!
Oh, the tales that turtle could tell! LOL!
Looks like a fun place to go!
That gorilla is kewl! Want one for my living room. Well, maybe not.
Glad that Sean had a great day at the zoo and with his cousin. I really like that picture of you and Jamie.
The turtle reminded me of a pet owned by a high school classmate. Every winter, it would burrow into the earth and hibernate, in spite of the fact that it was in Southern California.
One spring, the turtle didn't emerge.
A few years later, my friend's mom was tilling the ground. She found an empty tortoise shell.
Looks like a great day at the zoo. I am glad that you are adjusting to two kids -- even going on an all day outing. Way to go.

I haven't been to a zoo in years! I want to take my kids sometime soon. It looks like fun!
Looks like a fun day! I had the slingrider and I liked it a lot when Chloe was an infant. Once she got above 12 lbs though, it was a bit uncomfortable and I switched to my bjorn and my ergo.
haven't been to the zoo in ages. looks like all had a terrific time! the boys are so cute.
how fun that you all went to the zoo! I'm sure Sean loved it. :)
