Boo at the Zoo

While Jason is away playing Virginia Tech today, JP, Luke and I made our way to Stoneham, MA, to visit the Stone Zoo with our friends, Alison, William and Evelyn. Sadly, because of a frazzled mommy traveling with two kids and poor GPS directions, we ended up being over an hour late - but we were finally able to catch up with our friends to take in some wild animal viewing.

JP and Will had a blast holding hands, yelling, laughing, running and throwing leaves. I think they noticed a monkey and maybe a bear, but other than that, they were just content to be outside. (Let's hope they are always this easy to please!) The Zoo was hosting "Boo at the Zoo" with a scavenger hunt, treats and other special activities, none of which we participated in, LOL! Although, JP and Will did enjoy a couple snacks from the trick-or-treat tables.

Sidenote: Why is it that my picky-eating child will open a tootsie roll and pop it in his mouth without hesitation after never seeing one before, yet when I present him with some chicken or God-forbid a vegetable, he won't even taste it? Is it the wrapper? Should I wrap up a carrot with a pack of M&M's? Will he try it then? Can a two-year-old suffer from only ingesting peanut butter and jelly for a year? I digress...

Here are a couple pictures from the day :)
