Trip to the zoo...what a day!

Today was a beautiful day to take a stroll thru the zoo. We hadn't been to the Birmingham Zoo since we first moved to Alabama in early 2007. We were accompanied by a couple other moms and their kids. All was going well, we visited the kangaroos and a few other animals. We headed to the Lions and Tiger exhibit and was making our way throught the building when we realized that Hayden was no where to be found. AHHHH!!! It is just like Hayden to wander off by himself. We all split up and canvased the area to try and find him. How frightening! About 10 minutes later we found him sitting on the side of a path waiting there with another family just crying. I was so relieved to have found him. This little escapade of Hayden didn't stop us from enjoying the rest of the day at the zoo. As for the other mothers who joined us, they were more stress out than me and they had to leave. Sorry ladies!!! Having one child to look after is definitely easier than having three...

All the babies watching the tigers walk back and forth.
This is about the time we realized that Hayden was missing.

This is where we found Hayden after he wandered off by himself.
I have to say I was quite impressed with the zoo personel. They responded very fast.

The boys had the chance to dig up some dinosaur bones.

We apparently have an Aubrun fan and...

a Bama fan. Sounds like trouble to me!

Caleb and one of his favorite blanket. He has 3 blankets that he will carry around. They are all blue. Try and give him another one that isn't blue and we have a problem.YUMMMM! Mulch is full of fiber!
After the Zoo, Caleb had his 1 year checkup.
He is my brave little boy. To help him recoop after getting his shots we
went to the park and let him play around for awhile.
