Big Brother Getaway - Part 1

We decided to take John Turner for a little big brother getaway before little brother arrives. Our first stop was the Birmingham Zoo. Now, we thought going to the zoo would be a wonderful way to spend a Saturday in early April! Who knew it would be 90 degrees in early April?! This pregnant momma barely made it through the zoo! This little munchkin below had no trouble! He ran full speed all over that zoo!

Since we told him we were going to the zoo, he has talked about seeing zebras and camels. He said they were his favorite animals at the zoo! He also enjoyed the reptiles, birds and lions. He didn't stay at any animal too long. He would run up and squeal and name the animal. Then he would run off saying, "Let's go see more animals!".

He also enjoyed riding the train at the zoo. You know this boy couldn't pass by a train and not take a ride on it!

What hot day at the zoo would be complete without a little ice cream?!



After the zoo, we did a little shopping for baby brother and then had dinner. We spent the night at a hotel in Birmingham because we had BIG plans for John Turner the next morning. Part 2 of this post will be about that! John Turner calls hotels "ponytails". It is so funny! He said, "Mommy and Daddy we are staying at big ponytail!".
