It was our first trip to the Como Zoo and we loved it! Not only is it free (donations accepted), but it has a pretty decent selection of animals and a Conservatory full of beautiful plants and flowers... just what we needed to feel a little more like spring! Archer's little nose didn't know quite what to think of all the flower smells -- I seemed to have caught him mid-sneeze in this photo!
Archer heard his first lion roar as we were wandering not 50 feet from it! I think Eric and I were a bit more impressed than he was, but, oh well! I think this will become a monthly stop for us when we're needing a little adventure in the city!
Otherwise, the week is flying by. We're having dinner with Grandpa Rick tomorrow night while he's in town for business meetings. Then, we're on the road Friday to celebrate Easter in Okoboji.
I can't believe it's already the second week of April. Eric has just under two weeks of "man-ternity" leave left. I'll try to talk him into leaving his own little posting telling about all the fun they've had each day. I'm starting to think he is more productive than I was while I was home with Archer -- today I got home from work to find the laundry done and dinner being prepped on the stove. I guess I'll keep buying my lotto tickets in the hope that someday we'll hit it big and both be able to stay home with our littlest man!
