Spring Weekend

It's hard to believe that just Friday morning there was an inch of new snow on the ground, and two days later, the temperature is in the high 60s. Maybe even reached 70 today.

To enjoy this first glimpse of Spring weather, Phil and I took Hayden to the Woodland Park Zoo! My aunt gave us a membership for Christmas, and today was the first day we used it. Can't wait to come back more. Hayden had a lot of fun! Phil carried him in the Kelty backpack so he could see everything better, and that turned out to be a great way to do it. The weather was perfect and most of the animals were out and enjoying the nice day.

The highlights were the elephants, brown bears, and tiger. One of the elephants took a giant dump as we were watching them, so Hayden kept saying "poopy" after that! The 2 brown bears got into a wrestling brawl and that was very exciting to watch. The tiger was pacing all over and growling and roaring a few times. It was quite a show! I had a lot of fun using our new camera. Here are some photos:

On Saturday evening, we also went to the park near our house we call the "WOW" park. There are 3 bulldozers, a road roller, and a digger in the construction area that haven't been used all winter. We let Hayden get up close and he just kept saying "WOW!". He LOVES construction vehicles.



The park also has a beautiful new path around a water retention pond, with a waterfall and bridge. Hayden liked the waterfall.


He also really enjoys pushing his stroller.


Yay for nice weather! Thank you, sun, for making a much-needed appearance this weekend.
