Moot Thoughts & Musings

Today Ellis and I joined our friends for a trip to America's First Zoo. It was a hot day but a fun trip. Before we went in, I popped into the gift shop to find a hat for Ellis. A hat or double-sided tape for wigs are the best things to keep Ellis's CI on his head. He wears a behind the ear processor, which is a little bulky for the little guy, so a little extra help keeping it on his head in necessary for the active one. His hat was in the wash and I was out of tape, so I found one in the gift shop that was surprisingly affordable. And now E is the proud owner of a cute little safari style hat that says "Philadelphia Zoo. It was so worth it, too! But my friend and I both forgot our cameras. So plenty of photo ops missed.

Ellis and his buddy Judah, ran around, looking at animals, and trying to scale the fences. Some favorites were the elephants, soon to move out of the Philly Zoo. Ellis was totally entranced by a huge gorilla plopped right next to the glass. They road the little train around in circles. And, of course, the petting zoo with its amazing tolerant goats was a hit.

The boys wolfed down gigantic vanilla ice cream cones and went berserk with a sugar rush in front of the otters. We waved to the giraffes and went home. Arriving with snoozing, dirty boys in the back seat.
