We went to see the lights at the zoo on the day after Thanksgiving.
They were very pretty.
But mommy and daddy liked the llama the best. 
Later we rode the merry-go-round (it was a little scary.)
And when I got tired of the stroller, I rode daddy.
We saw a really cool light show too at the sea lion habitat. Whenever the rock music would start the sea lions would dance along. Sadly, it was too dark to get a good picture of them grooving.
We hung out by this pretty tree
And clapped.
I pulled some leaves off.
And walked around with mommy.
This is my cool new hat!
Here she begins, note the calming but forceful hand on my head...
I'm looking pretty good... shouldn't we be done now?
OK, this has really gone on long enough!
Darn right I deserve a lolli.
All in all, I was a very good boy. And it was a learning experience because as you can tell, I learned that I really like lollipops!
Here I am opening my pretty picture frame...
Some crazy board books that play peek-a-boo with me...
Pretty bows on my new cords...
Of course, I have to admit that by the end...I was ready for a break!
Mommy made me an elephant cake
and grandma made lion cupcakes!
This is my friend Javari trying out my slide. Yes, he is a little big for it, but look how happy it made him!
Daddy and I shared some cake--the blue frosting was the best part.
These are my new big-boy shoes. Thanks grandma and grandpa!
The big kids played Duluth Horseshoes
And Christopher played with the 100 balls.
Ryan helped me enjoy some of my toys to their full potential.
I tried to attack daddy...
and mommy too...
But they just laughed.
Oh well, at least I get candy!
Checkin' out leaves
Hangin' in the swing.
Smilin' at mommy.
Trunk riding with Max.
