Wisconsin... Part 2 at the Zoo


After a great full day in Wisconsin, it was off for the start to day #2. However, Carter was still on Eastern Standard Time, so his "get up and go" was ready to go much earlier than the rest of us. Luckily Grandma had found a good number of toys for Carter and Mom and Dad brought some Baby Einstein DVDs for entertainment till the rest of this part of the world was alive and kicking.
Luckily Carter was well entertained with his Grandparents around as the morning was full of rain (meaning no visit to the Farmer's Market, but we can save that for the next trip). Once the sun came out, Carter wanted to take a walk, and Dad obliged by heading out the front driveway with a more and more adventurous Carter.

After his fun walk, it was into the car and back to a place Carter had been before (albeit more than 10months back). We were off to the Madison Zoo.
Carter immediately headed towards the newly re-done children's area of the Zoo and quickly found the goats.
Grandpa was able to find a fwe quarters, and Carter was feeding his first farm animals. He really seemed to have fun with it and was not jumpy or timid while the goats nibbled the food from his hands.
We continued our walk through the Zoo and found a few monkey's hanging around...

Took the obligatory picture being a baby bear...Perched on Dad's shoulders to get the best views of the birds in the rainforest aviary
We were a little dissapointed to find that our wingspan was only that of a Peregrine Falcon
We continued to explore the zoo, all the animals were out and about, even the two-humped Camels who both came right up to the area Carter was calling them from.
Carter also enjoyed the funny looking ostrich with Grandpa

Overall the Zoo trip was a quick one, but we had to get home to prepare for the fun to come that evening
