Beware of Falling Poop!

A week ago Thursday, we took Jonathan to the zoo to see the dinosaurs and took Bella on her first ever trip to Brookfield Zoo.














Jonathan's ready for the zoo!














Bella's ready for her first zoo trip!

As we entered the dinosaur exhibit, we were greeted with a sign that Mom fell in love with.

After seeing that sign, you looked up and there was a Pteranodon greeting us to the dinosaur exhibit. Kerry and Mom laughed so hard they nearly woke up Bella. We then walked through and saw a couple of cool looking dinosaurs. One dinosaur, Dilo, wasn't feeling well so he wasn't working. There was a set of Mommy and Baby stegosaurus', Mommy and Baby Apatosaurus' and Mommy and Baby T-Rex. The zoo is getting very smart. To leave the dinosaur exhibit, you have to go through the dinosaur gift shop.


Bella loved the dinosaurs. She slept through the whole thing. Not a peep from the little girl.

Jonathan LOVED the dinosaurs! He got his first dinosaur (a triceratops). He was making dinosaur noises and showing off his new dinosaur the whole time. Everywhere Jonathan went, the dinosaur was sure to go. After the dinosaurs, we had a snack while Bella slept. Then it was off to see the dolphins! But, when we got there, we saw the sign that said the dolphin show is closed until summer 2010. They are "remodeling" the dolphin area. Luckily, you can still go below and see the dolphins. We spent the rest of the day by the Lions, and tigers. While Jonathan rode on the carousel, Bella and I went on scowering the park for the dinosaur mold-a-rama. She woke up as we got to the reptile house. After a small snack for Bella while Jonathan finished his ride, it was time to go home.

Since she slept through her whole first zoo trip, she was awake the whole trip home. She was still rather hungry since she only got a snack at the zoo. But of course, by the time we got home, she was sound asleep. She's always got those fists of hers up by her face.





Jonathan fell asleep about half way home. He's showing some signs of jealousy with his baby sister so now he won't sit in his big boy booster seat. He wants to be back in his car seat. His potty training has come to a complete halt as well. He's too cute though! He's 2 so it is all understandable. He sleeps just like his daddy does. All I can do is love him. On our next zoo trip, we WILL find the 3 mold-a-rama's of dinosaurs.
