Zoo!

Our cutie on the way home :)

One thing I love about Jon's job is the flexibility. He worked on Saturday, and got to take today (Monday) off. We both have needed to get out of Longview. Originally, we planned to take a small overnight trip Sunday. Thankfully we nixed the plan last week. Had we made the reservations, we would have had to cancel due to Ezzie being sick. This morning he was well enough to do something - so we took a family trip to the zoo. This was Ezzie's first visit.

Ezzie is now starting to distinguish people and animals from the surroundings. If an object is moving, he can easily distinguish it, but if the item is not moving, he doesn't do too well. It is neat to see him develop this skills. He often brings me a book, and we look at the animals on each page. I can tell he still is not quite distinguishing the animals from the backgrounds, but he is getting better! We saw this skill come out at the zoo today. Ezzie loved watching the birds and other animals that moved a lot, but he surprisingly loved this green lizard that just sat in his cubby. I tell you, his little squeals and laughs just make my day :)

We got a membership to the zoo. We are excited at how this opens up opportunities to visit other zoos around the country for free of a 50% off discount. Zoos are so much fun. Here's to more trips!

Petting the goats! Here little birdie!!
