A Day at the Zoo

Like most toddlers, Carter's attention span is not a long one, but there are a few things for which he reserves his love, obsession, and devotion.  Among these things are Elmo, his puzzles, and animals.  We even have an Elmo DVD about Wild Animals...Carter is in heaven!  In order to foster the non-TV centered interests, we took Carter to the Dallas Zoo today.  Vaughn, Shelby, Carter and I all went and it was exhausting.  Carter seemed to be interested in the animals although the "horshie" seems to have won over all of the "wild animals" in holding his interest.  We saw roosters and he "cock-a-doodled" at them.  He liked the elephants, the gorillas, and the meerkats.  He enjoyed any glass that he could bang on and any time he was allowed to wander freely.  Here are a few pictures from our adventure...
