The Home Team Goes to the Zoo

This is my home team: Jack and Trace. And I have to say they are pretty delightful people. There's not too much competition between them so most of the time they have a great time making up games and making each other laugh.

We were running some early errands around town last week and Jack said, "I'm bored Mom, let's go to the zoo." The weather has finally been warming up, and it's so rare that my homebody boys actually ask for an outing so I couldn't resist! We pretty much had the zoo to ourselves. We went to the petting zoo. Trace would not touch the horses. It might have had something to do with my saying, "Don't put your fingers near their mouths or they might bite your fingers." Funny how he doesn't talk much but apparently understands a lot. Then we went to the reptile house and the Komodo Dragons. Jack was so excited in the reptile house he ran screaming "Mom! Look at this!" from window to window. I just could not keep pace with him. As we left I pointed out the sign that said, "No tapping on the glass or yelling in the Herpetarium." Jack said, "I did not read that sign, Mom." You've got to love Jack. He's so enthustic and emphatic about everything. And he's so handsome.
