On Friday, Liam and I met our friends Caroline (fellow new mom) and Evelyn Claire (8 month old) at the zoo. You could say it was more for us mommies to get out of the house and to have some adult conversation, but I’d like to think that Liam enjoyed himself. He seemed more interested in his book than the animals, most of the time.

The only remote look of amazement came from the aquarium…as predicted.

Exhibit A:

See, can’t you just see their excited faces? Not.

Well, we did happen to head over to the giraffe exhibit just in time for a feeding and got a little up close and personal with them, which was fun!

Eww, look at that tongue. I don’t think Liam knew what that giant thing was.

Then, he came towards us looking for lettuce…alas, we had none. Sorry little big dude.

It was great fun and it was the perfect weather for a trip to the zoo. I’m still in shock over this 80 degree weather in January here in South Carolina.

What age do you think is the best for the first time at the zoo?
