Donovan's first trip to the zoo

Sunday we had intended to go to Tom's brother's house for more swimming but the forecast called for lots of rain so we decided to hit the zoo instead while it was still relatively nice outside. The day started out warm, with drizzles, which was fine. But then Tom and I had to go complaining about the drizzles and mother nature let us have it by taking all the clouds away and giving us a hot, windless day. Needless to say that we didn't spend as much time at the zoo as we had intended on. Donovan stayed awake enough to people watch through the "River's Edge" area of the zoo ("Animals? What are those? I gots people to look at") and then he promptly slept through the rest of the trip until Tom and I got a funnel cake at which time he woke up crying. I think he was just lecturing us on the perils of eating a funnel cake when we are both trying to eat healthier and lose weight. He is so wise.

Us again.

Donovan not impressed with his first zoo trip. Note he did wear a monkey onesie for the occasion though.
