Today we met up with our friends Steve and Cassandra for a wonderful lunch and then a great time at the San Francisco Zoo. Eoin didn't quite seem himself and so we kept him in the backpack for a little while and we went to see the five day old baby giraffe.
We were so lucky that we got not only to see the baby giraffe but Mommy and Daddy interacting with her as one happy family. We saw the baby getting up on her wobbly legs and Daddy being very protective of his family. It really was a great sight. After the giraffes we headed to the monkeys and lemurs which we knew Eoin would love. His favorite show is Zoboomafoo which is all about a lemur and his creature friends. However when we took Eoin out of the back pack he was really cranky and wobbly on his legs. It took me a while to realize that Eoin's legs had gone to sleep and he had pins and needles. The poor little fella cried his way through getting the feeling in his legs again but once his legs were ok again there was no stopping him! He was running all over the place. We showed him where the lemurs where and told him to call 'Zoboo" and to our amazement he did - several times.
We finished the day off with Eoin's first carousel ride. We all had a great time and can't wait to go back to the zoo and see the other half that we didn't get to see today.
