Morning with Caitlyn

Carter and I hung out with Amy and Caitlyn today.

We met up with them at the Mother Goose program this morning.  Carter was so shy when we first got there.  He sat on the floor next to me and just chewed on his fingers looking at the other people in the room.  The shyness didn't last long.  He sat in my lap through the first few songs and then he was off.  There were a couple of other kids in the center of the room also doing their own thing.  Carter danced and danced.  He ran circles (literally) around the other kids standing in the middle of the room.  He exchanged hugs with other kids.  He went up to other moms and "talked" to them.  He was VERY social.  I was a little concerned that he was annoying other people, but no one seemed to mind and he was very sweet to the other kids.  Carter had so much fun!

After Mother Goose, we took the kids to the zoo for a little while.  Carter took a nap on the way there but was a little grouchy the whole time at the zoo.  Unfortunately the zoo was PACKED.  I've never seen it so crowded (not even on weekends).  The bottom parking lot was almost full.  Usually during the week when schools are open, you can park in the upper lot close to the middle.  There were a ton of school groups there today and then a lot of parents that drove separately to help with the kids.

We were still able to see most of the animals without getting totally tackled by older kids.

Somehow we got to the chimps during a break in the crowds and I was able to get a few pictures of the kids together.

Carter liked patting Caitlyn on the shoulder ...

We had lots of fun and hope we get together with Amy and Caitlyn again soon!
