It was a nice Labor Day Holiday today. The weather wasn't too hot so Garrett and I decided to go to the zoo since it was so crowded yesterday. We got an earlier start this morning and arrived there around 9am. It wasn't as empty as it normally is when we go, but it wasn't too bad. We didn't go to the splash pad area because it was way too crowded. I was able to maneuver and distract Garrett enough so that he didn't see us walk past it. We did however, spent a lot of time by the monkey area. Garrett sure is a ladies man! He made two little girlfriends while watching the monkeys eat breakfast and as soon as one little girl left he was walking up to another! He must have gotten that from his uncles! We also spent some time with the goat petting zoo area. Garrett hadn't been there since he was just starting to stand on his own. He seemed to really enjoy it and would walk right up to them to pet them and want to sit next to them. It was so cute, but very dirty! Oh, and of course he met another little girl there too!
After we left the zoo we went to In & Out for lunch. Once again he met a little girlfriend at the table next to us. She was only 5 days older than him and so cute. They would stare and smile at each other. One would do something and the other would copy almost like they were communicating in their own language. It is so nice to see that I have such a sociable son.
I felt bad that Garrett couldn't go in the water at the zoo, so I decided to take him down the road to the Tempe Marketplace splash pad to cool off a bit. He had fun running around and being silly in the water. We only stayed about 20 minutes until he seemed like he was done. He passed out before I even got to the freeway and slept for another hour or so when we got home. Daddy got to get off of work early so we were able to just relax at home for the rest of the day.
