Our second great adventure this weekend was Zoo Atlanta. Lots of cool animals, big open exhibits, and some fun playgrounds for the kiddos. James even fed some parakeets.
Cora posed with one of the MANY bronze statues:
James loved walking around with his Uncle Gerald and Ma-maw:
And hanging with Will:
And posing for his own silly photos:
My favorite animals were the Red Panda and Komodo Dragons (BABY komodo dragons!)
No, we don't know the other kids in this photo. In fact, there were a few girls sitting there before I finally managed to find the camera buried in the diaper bag. This little table was next to one of the playgrounds, and after we handed James his sippy cup, he trotted right on over and sat with the other kiddos. It seemed they all flocked there for a little break. It was pretty darn cute.

When he got sleepy, I scooped him up into his Beco, but he never did nap. Too much to see and do. He sure loved the elephants. One of them was "dancing" and he kept telling me to "Sing! Sing!" (I suppose to keep the elephant dancing?...)
Cora spent most of the day being carried around in her Beco as well. Because that's what Cora likes best. When she's not eating, of course. Carried by me. And by her Daddy. She was cracking me up, hiding her face under the strap while Jay was carrying her. He kept thinking she was asleep, but when I'd peek, she'd just stare right back at me. Eventually she did nap though, unlike her big bro. And yes, Jay got lots of sweet smiles and "awe, that's so cute's" from the ladies, since young and old, no woman can resist a babywearing daddy.
I took James on his VERY FIRST TRAIN RIDE!
(Here he is thinking "What is this ticket for Mama?"...)
It was a ridiculously short ride (3 minutes, MAYBE), but James loved it. Dark, loud tunnel and all. Afterwards (and after a snack) he was running around saying "Moh? Moh? Moh tee-wain?"
But alas, there was no more ticket. So we hit another playground instead. And he was a happy, happy little man!
