Zoo Six

Hung out with the Stokes early on Sunday, had to get the requisite shot of Des at the jellyfish

Cinco de Zoo

A quick Saturday trip to the zoo. Pictured below is Des wondering, “why are we stopping to stare at a cow? We’re at the zoo, they have penguins, sea turtles, and monkeys here.”

Big Day Out

Like the last few Saturdays, the day started out with swimming lessons. Doesn’t look much different, but he’s definitely more into splashing now (a fun trick he’s extended to bath time)

Des stayed awake for most of the zoo!

Okay, a bit of a nap there towards the middle

Petting and feeding the stingrays was certainly the highlight of the day

Down by the petting zoo, we caught several zookeepers taking an 8-month-old cheetah for a walk (not for petting).

Ready to go out and enjoy this warm January day at the zoo. Des is pumped! (and remained so for the first half)

Penguins!

Look closely…

And wish as dad might, no hummingbirds posed with Des for a kodak moment in the Butterfly Pavilion. There’s always next time…

And back to his natural habitat

Helping acquire candy for his parents…

I know subconsciously, he was really excited to see his first penguin.

Always interesting to see the jungle in the dark, bats flying everywhere
