First time at the zoo

We decided since we needed to shop for  a few things before our D.C. trip in Memphis that we would leave a little earlier and take Stratton to the zoo. We picked the perfect day to go. It was slightly overcast and not too warm or cool and believe it or not it really wasn't that crowded! Stratton was so great! I know I brag on him all the time, but he really does excellent in public when we are out and about. He stayed in his stroller and didn't complain. We had to get him out pretty frequently so he could see over the people and barriers, but he was always fine with getting back in the stroller and moving on to see something else! I think he liked the elephants and bears the best. The grizzly bears were fighting and wrestling and I don't think he liked that very much! He also like all the cats, he growled at them! He also really enjoyed the farm animals, and wanted to pet all of them. He did a lot of pointing and saying "oohhh!" We had a great time!

It's expressions like this that make me wonder what's going thru his little mind!
