our spring adventures begin

i LOVE this time of year.

i LOVE that it is starting to warm up.
i LOVE that the sun is out.
i LOVE that i can wear flip flops.
and
i LOVE that we can be out and about
and doing some fun things before school is out and everything gets busy.

alex and i met up with some friends at como zoo yesterday
to start our spring adventures.



i'm fairly certain that alex spent more time holding the doors for people
than actually looking at the animals ...

BUT ...
whatever keeps him busy
works for me ;)

before leaving we stopped in the conservatory
(where they plant INCREDIBLE flowers throughout the year)
and FINALLY he took some interest in the animals.

the koi fell victim to 3 curious 3 year olds

they had no fear.
the 3 yr olds that is ;)
they wanted to stay and 'pet' them all day.

i'm PRETTY sure alex would've gotten in and 'swam' with them
had i let him.

crazy kid.



now if you could just be that brave when it comes to bugs.
