Zoo

Eli and I visited the National Zoo last week! 

The weather has been so nice and before it gets cold, we decided it was the perfect time to go.

Most days at breakfast, Eli and I talk about the chores and errands we're going to do that day. And some days, I toss our to-do list and we decide to do something unplanned.

Turns out it's harder than I realized to chase after a toddler while trying to snap some photos for memories! I did manage to get a few!

Eli poked his hand through the gate to wave to the animals and say, "Hi! Hi! Hi!"

I think we have a future zookeeper on our hands. 

We packed a lunch and enjoyed eating at a table in the zoo. As we were leaving, we spotted a frozen yogurt shop across the street so we decided to stop for a quick treat!

I considered inviting some friends to come with us, but then decided it would be a perfect mother/son date and it was!
