going to the zoo

the new elephant house area. He was more interested in all these t.v's than the actual real elephants.
playing in the tunnels.

Claire was there too.






I feel like I don't do as many fun things with Ben that I did with Siena. I am trying to fix that and plan fun outings. The weather has been beautiful around here so we decided to go to the zoo. I was excited and hoped he would like it with just me and him and Claire I guess. I hoped he wouldn't be bored without Siena. We had a good time and I think he liked being in charge of where we went and what we did without Siena. We found some friends there and Ben turned in to a little terror. You know whenever you go out with kids you always see some poor mom trying to wrangle her screaming kid around and you are thankful that it isn't you. Yeah, that was us this time. This was supposed to be fun, and he was having a meltdown at every turn. It was so sad and made me not want to go out on fun trips with him anymore.
