X had a wonderful time and he was a really good sport about making it through the day. I was worried that he'd want to run free from the stroller more, but he was happy to sit and ride with his sippy and some snacks.
First we stopped by the Clydesdale's. They are beautiful, but a little smelly!
X was sportin his froggy shirt in order to get in touch with nature. And, thanks to Auntie D for the cool shorts! We rode on a tram to see animals roaming free. X loved the tram. I think he was more interested in the fact that he got to ride in a moving vehicle without a 5 point harness on than actually looking at the animals.
Not sure if you can see it, but next to the black horse on the far left is a baby mustang that was only an hour old. It was neat to see him walking around all wobbly as he was trying to get his sea legs.
And this cow was just chillin.
I fed the baby goats. X wanted nothing to do with it. We decided to stay on the outside of the fence because those things were going crazy. They would have definitely knocked X to the ground in about 3 seconds.
This was also X's first carousel ride ever. He was a little unsure of the whole thing and didn't crack a smile the entire time. But, when it was over and we got off he cried, so I knew he did like being on there. My pictures aren't very clear because I was trying to hold onto X and get a few shots at the same time.
I think by far the favorite part of the day was the misting bridge. Kids were going crazy running back and forth under the misters and X joined right in. I guess it's fitting since he does like to play in the rain. (Hard to tell from the pic, but he's standing under a mister and getting all wet)

We rounded out our afternoon with a late lunch where I paid a ridiculous price for a kid's meal that X and I shared (luckily I'd snuck in a bunch of other food for X to snack on). I guess they gotta make up for the free beer tent that they offer (too bad I don't like beer!)
Next week we're headed to the botanical gardens with some other friends. Summer's in full swing!
