Zoology

Last weekend, Brian's parents came to visit us to celebrate my mother in law's birthday. We took Sam to the zoo for the first time. I expected him to relish the experience, but instead, he seemed almost disinterested. We could hardly get him to engage with the animals in the petting zoo at all.

The tigers were in a particularly fiesty mood; I've never seen tigers wrestle, race and pounce like they did last weekend. But Sam was much more interested in the large bolts that keep the tigers in their cage.

By the end of the day, Sam had found his groove: he loved the pigeons and squirrels best. I think we'll stick with the park for a few more months. The zoo can wait until he's a bit older.
