Trip to the Zoo

Nana came in town Thursday night for Luke's dedication and to visit. She had not seen Luke since early the morning of September 3rd. This might have been her longest stint away. Obviously, Luke had changed so much and Andrew was SO excited to see her. He kept asking her if she was leaving. Not in a bad way but he now knows that she leaves to go home. It was sad.

Anyway, the rain stayed away long enough for us to go to the Atlanta Zoo on Friday. We had a lot of fun and here are some pictures!

Awh....

Andrew actually wasn't too thrilled to take this picture with Luke in it. If I remember correctly, I had to bribe him to get a smile. He wanted to be in the picture by himself. This is just the beginning.

Pictures of a few of the animals....

Luke actually woke up while we were out and about. I couldn't believe it.

Andrew in the petting zoo. He was pretty hesitant to pet the animals.

I had to ask Andrew to take one step closer about 3 times to get this shot. He would take baby steps toward the goat each time. It was funny!

Andrew finally rode one of the animals on the merry-go-'round! See the Boo at the Zoo pics where we had to sit in one of the stationery seats. I promised him I would hold on to him. Before the ride was over he was saying "Let go of me, mommy." Yea!

Luke and Nana had to ride the second time.

We had so much fun! It began raining soon after we left this area. Can't wait to go back again!
