Marcus was born on Pioneer Day. I know it's only celebrated in Utah but it's still a holiday. There are positives and negatives to this. The positives is that Dave always has the day off of work, we can always do fireworks for his birthday, and it's easy to remember. The negatives are that everything is crowded, family is always busy, and I don't want him to feel that his birthday is overlooked. This year since he understood a little bit better about what was going on we let him do whatever he wanted and made it an all Marcus day. Dave had the day off and the day before off so we went to the zoo on the 23rd to beat the crowds. It was still really crowded but we had fun.
This was marcus's favorite part - the polar bear. He was so playful and interactive and so much fun to watch swim right in front of us.
We stopped to have an early lunch because pregnant mommy was hungry and we wanted to beat the crowds. Note to self (I'm sure everyone knows this but us) bring a little cooler with lunch because the food is expensive and not that great. We bough Marcus a little water bottle with vitamin water in it and he basically was glued to that thing. As you can tell in the picture above, he doesn't really care about the ape asleep.
We rode the train and Marcus was in awe the whole time. He would say "choo choo" and just look around wide eyed.
He was so tuckered out after the day at the zoo he fell asleep on the way home.

Hello Mr. Polar Bear
We stopped to have an early lunch because pregnant mommy was hungry and we wanted to beat the crowds. Note to self (I'm sure everyone knows this but us) bring a little cooler with lunch because the food is expensive and not that great. We bough Marcus a little water bottle with vitamin water in it and he basically was glued to that thing. As you can tell in the picture above, he doesn't really care about the ape asleep.
What's the zoo without a snow cone!

Who doesn't love the zoo!?! It's such an educational, yet fun place to be. You've gotta love it. What a great start to a wonderful birthday celebration!
