Today we went to the zoo. We'd been planning the outing for several weeks, timing it with Seth's week of vacation and $2 Tuesday. We weren't going to be deterred by a little broken bone in my foot. So, we packed lunches and, after Jasper's morning nap, headed to the zoo.
We rented a wheelchair for the Gimp Mama. So, Seth pushed the stroller and I rolled myself around. We saw some animals. The only one Jasper really seemed interested in was the gigantic elephant Packy, who just happened to be celebrating his 47th birthday today.
I learned that even a slight gradiant can be a booger for a girl with weak arms in a wheelchair. After spending the weekend out running errands and then left with a pain in the foot, I figured it was best not to try to do the zoo by foot. Janet warned me (she's no stranger to the walking boot) that some other body parts would likely get sore from all the funny walking you do with this damn boot on. She was right. And that was before I even started using crutches or a wheelchair!
Enough about me, already. Seth posted a couple of pics on the other blog, but here are a few more. Since we both had our hands full, we didn't take a ton of pics. The one up above is during lunch, and that's applesauce all over Jasper's face. He is really loving his solid foods now!
Hoping we'll get out and about another day or two this week. Look for more pics later in the week. Until then, here's a few.
