Animals and Friends

What a fun weekend we have had.  On Friday we went to the Franklin Park Zoo for the free Friday.  It was a little crazy...apparently we we part of their record breaking 23,000 people attended day!  We got to see zebras, giraffes, a tiger, and gorillas (C's favorite).  Ma Ma and Da Da were thrilled that we missed having our car towed by mere minutes.  The next day I took the kids to the WGBH ice cream event.  I was hopeful that some of C's favorite friends were there, and we weren't disappointed.  C got to see Clifford the big red dog, Arthur, and Curious George.  I feel like I got a sense of what he will be like down the road (a good ways down the road) when we take him to Disney for the first time.  There are some kids that are shy, or cry when its their turn because they realize they don't want to take a picture. Not C...He dives right into a bear hug.  He hugs, pets them, has a little conversation.  The only thing that is hard is getting him to actually look at the camera.  He loved petting Clifford's tail.  He told Arthur, "I like your glasses!" and "Goodbye".  When I asked him about George on the way home he said, "George said, "I like your George doll, C!"  Luckily we got to say hi to these guys before we all got too warm and E was a trooper!re
