After feeding the fish, and wrestling Uncle Rob/Dad-O to the ground, we loaded Mason, Asani and the double stroller into the car and headed for the Denver Zoo.
Good zoo, that Denver Zoo -- and pretty much the way I remember it from my youth and many field trips. It's especially good for the little ones, as the animals are all in close proximity for viewing.
Mason went CRAZY for the elephants and both boys begged to ride the "choo-choo." We happily obliged.
The gorillas were lots of fun, but my personal favorite was probably the giraffes. They were inside by the time we got there, so we were really close. We HAD to wake Mason up from his nap to see them. We tried to wake Asani, but he kept turning his head away and trying to get comfy on Uncle Rob's shoulder. We were sure to snap a picture for future reference.
Thursday was spent with the Great Grandparents. Great Grandma and Grandpa Seeley were around in the morning. They brought Mason a new book "Going to Sleep on the Farm" and Mason even sat still long enough to let Great Grandma read to him a bit -- just like she did to Mommy when I was younger.
After that, we headed over to Great Grandma and Grandpa Woodman's for lunch. Grandma made her famous grilled cheese (I just can't make 'em that good, golden brown and perfectly melted cheese) and chocolate milkshakes.
We capped the afternoon off with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, where Mason and Ava, the flower girl and niece of the happy couple became fast friends.
