Visit to the Zoo

We had a lovely day at the zoo today. The weather was gorgeous, so it was a great day for a stroll. The zoo is only 15 minutes from our house, so we got a membership and will be returning soon since the summer will soon be upon us. The Banerjees tell us that we will appreciate it even more when Lukas starts walking so that it will tire him out. They say that it's even better when you go with Maika and the Schneiders because then they (the girls) go off on their own. (Though I have a feeling that we won't get to enjoy that luxury since I'm sure that Kai will be more likely to lead Lukas to climb over the fence to get a closer look to the animals- that kid has no fear!) Lukas enjoyed seeing the animals (pictures to come later,) but I think his favorite part was when we let him out of his stroller to crawl around on the playground. They had this big spider web made of rope which he loved and he practiced walking on the rubbery and cushiony floor. (Relax, dad, he's not walking yet, but he is trying to take a few steps.) He's pretty close, but I'm hoping that he gives us a few more months of no chasing. I used to think those kid leashes were kind of cruel, but they are starting to look better and better every day....

I like that we spring forward tonight. Hopefully, it doesn't mess with Lukas's sleep schedule too much. Tomorrow, we go into the city for a birthday party. If it's nice, we might need to take a short bike ride to try out Lukas's new bike trailer.
