Shelby/Mommy Day at the Zoo

A few weekends ago Stacy was in San Jose getting his certification in crossfit, so it was Shelby/Mommy weekend! Shelby was tasked with getting 3 days of all smiley faces in a week, and the reward was a trip to the zoo. We had a great day.Shelby was all about reading the map to figure out where we needed to go throughout the day. On the car ride home, he reviewed the map, only to announce that we missed one animal! The warthog.
The baboons were an experience in and of themselves...as soon as they turned around, Shelby and I both were grossed out by the various growths on their rears! What is that all about?Shelby doesn't wear his hat for long before he announces that his head is sweating.
He didn't want to listen when I told him not to get off the path and investigate in places that weren't intended for guests....and he got his own punishment when he lifted something and hundreds of fast little ants swarmed up his little arm! I was helping slap them off, but he'd already been attacked. He was so upset he informed me that he needed to sit down and text daddy about that.After we had a fun lunch together, it was ride time!This was hilarious because this kids dad announced to his son, "Don't let him mean mug you!"And there's the mean mug.He was so nervous in line for the carousel that someone before him would pick the panda. We had a whole, apparently unnecessary discussion about not throwing a fit if that happened. But luckily we were good to go!
It really was a great day for both of us.
