Happy Columbus Day!

It’s not often that Daddy gets to spend the day with Zoe all by himself, but yesterday was one of those days. Zoe and I had the day off for Columbus Day, but Mommy had to go into work. We spent the morning getting ready and having breakfast. Then Zoe hopped in the stroller and we went off to the “choo choo” (or the Muni). Zoe loves watching the Munis drive by and rarely gets to go on one. We took the L Muni to the end of the line and made our way to the zoo! Zoe ran around, watched grizzlies eat fish, monkeys get fed, giraffe’s snack on branches, and penguins swim around. The best part was that halfway through, her uncle Dan showed up since he also had the day off! Needless to say, Zoe was pretty worn out and slept for close to 3 hours (her normal nap is 1.5 hours). Afterwards, she ran around the house with Uncle Dan and waited for Mommy to come home.

I know she had a good time because today she woke up talking about monkeys, giraffes and penguins. She’s also been sticking out her tongue like the giraffe did. Check out the pictures below…

    Now I know where she saw the Giraffe. Yesterday when I talked with her on Skype she told me all about the Giraffe and the Monkey. You two must have had a wonderful day together. I love the picture Spider Girl. It looks like Daddy said com’om Zoe, smile…….and Zoe will do almost anything Daddy will ask her to do. Even be a Spider Girl.
