They were there with Erin’s niece Sam, so once Lukas got up from his nap, we headed out to meet them. It was a great day to be there – just a little cool, but very nice, and sunny too. We had a lot of fun. I think this was the first time Lukas really enjoyed it too, especially because he got to play with Sam (who was very sweet with him, even thought she’s 3 years older). After a few hours of looking at animals and playing in the kids area, we went to Dewey’s for some pizza. This was also very enjoyable – and once again, Lukas was just enamored with Sam, so it was a very relaxing dinner (as opposed to the “let’s get the food out here and finish up as quick as we can” meals we often have when we go out…) Thanks for inviting us out Kevin and Erin – and Sam, thank you for being so good with Lukas! We’ll have to do this again sometime!

He seemed to be more interested in watching the people (and all the kids!) rather than the animals. Though he did enjoy watching the gorillas. We have a family membership now, so I’m sure we’ll go a lot this Summer. Hopefully he likes the turtles… :)

Kevin and Erin met us there too, and took this picture of us and a primate.
