A Great Day for the Zoo

I have been lucky enough to meet two ladies with children that I get the pleasure of hanging out with.  Mary Katherine and I live in the same building. We would pass her and her daughter, Claire, on occasion.  Finn was always very interested in them.   One day we exchanged numbers and since then have had the opportunity to go for several walks around our neighborhood and a couple of outings.  She invited us to go with her and her husband to the zoo yesterday.

 Finn really enjoys Claire.  He calls her "baby."  Baby likes Finn too.
 How cute are they?
 Claire is 17 months old.  Finn could care less that she is half his age.  He really enjoys her company.


 Finn enjoyed looking at the animals.  He likes to look quickly and then go "see some mores animals."
 I think my favorite part was the gorillas.  They are so interesting and human like.
 Finn and the giant turtle...
 The kids checking something out...
At one point I got nervous as Finn approached a fence.  I asked Tosh, "do you think that fence is safe?" He said, "I doubt it.  I doubt anyone planned on having a bunch of kids running around here."   Alright, alright.  So I quit worrying.

 Finn stopped at anything round and identified it as a planet. I believe this was Venus.
 The lion is one impressive beast.
 Finn petting a cow...

 We were very impressed that having two children at the zoo for four hours in the heat and there were no tears.   Finn conked out as we were getting ready to leave.
 He even slept on the metro.
We had such a great time getting to share a fun day with our new neighbors and new friends.
