Walking adventures

Oh, my independant little man. Eddie is currently in love with exploring, and comes up with the funniest places to go. Lately, he is crazy about water towers and will not stop asking to walk to one...with DADDY. Not Momma, mind you, but just Daddy. Boys.

So one morning, out of nowhere, Eddie says that he wants to go to the dolphin show. So, we check the weather for the nicest day and off we go to the zoo. I love letting Eddie walk around the zoo, so we went with that plan, and it worked! Last time we walked the zoo I had to carry Eddie out while he cried. This time, I knew that wasn't an option because I just cannot carry the boy anymore...this belly is too big! Oh, and for the record, we only walk half the zoo at a time...I don't think he or I could make it the whole zoo :)

{on our way there, Eddie announced that he was scared of tigers. And maybe frogs. Oh, silly boy. This tiger was our warm up}

{and what do you know? had to drag him away from the tigers. he just sat and watched him forever}

{for being scared of the tiger, he then had a great time pretending to be one!}

{he beloved dolphins!}

{brushing the goats}

{relaxing in our favorite hidden area}

{and then i let him paint his face. and oh, it was so funny}

{you should have seen the other moms looking at me like i was crazy. dude! it's washable! it makes him happy! and he thought he was a fierce tiger...come on, not much cuter than that}

{and if our tiger day was too one sided, the tiger on the merry go round was taken, so he was quite happy with his second favortie...the lion}

{so much for being scared}

{but he never did see any frogs, so you never know}
