Train Ride!

So the Peterborough Zoo has an adorable little train that takes you for a ride through a forest where you're supposed to find the lost animals that the zoo keeper lost... I hate that I didn't get any pictures of the actual engine. This is the same train ride (for a dollar more, now) that Andrew and I went on the day after we got engaged.



I think the train was just pulling into the station. I love the look on Luke's face!



Mommy and Luke on the train. It was a little cramped (hey, I think it was made for smaller passengers!) but so fun.



Family picture! Taken by Uncle Luke who was behind us with Aunt Helena.

This was the last thing we did at the zoo. It was a grand finale, in my opinion. We were gonna stop at the splash park, but we were running behind. So much to do and see at the zoo! It was so nice to get to spend the morning with family and friends.

Here are some more shots of our trip to the Peterborough Zoo. Luke had such a good time with his cousins and aunts and uncles. It was a really good (but LONG) day.

This is in front of a cute little fountain... Andrew gave me a penny to throw in and make a wish! Poor Luke was almost asleep by this point.



Here is Luke with GrammaMack. He enjoyed looking at the goats etc., with her!




I love this picture of Luke. He was so enthralled with all there was to see.


He enjoyed climbing around on things. His expressions made me laugh!



Luke has such a happy look on his face here as he raced to look at... whatever!



Looking at the turkeys.



Luke had no shortage of cousins to help him up, or down, or feed him, or play with him, or hold his hand, or push the stroller, or... you get the idea. I had a bit of a vacation at Aunt Sue's house!



He is such a sweet boy! He had a lot of fun looking into all the enclosures (I don't think there was anything on the other side of this fence, but hey, it was awesome!). His favourite things were all the birds. Plus when the cousins got him to pat their shoulders and were then all clamouring for his attention yelling "Luke, pat me, pat me!" "No, it's my turn, pat me!" It made me laugh so hard.

All in all, we had a lovely day with family.

Lukes at the Zoo

It was lovely to be in Canada again. We saw SO many people and it was crazy busy, but it was good. I wish we could've stayed longer. Before the Peterborough family get together we headed to the Peterborough Zoo with cousins and friends. More on that will follow, eventually. But we were thrilled to be joined by Luke and Helena. It was SO good to see them again.



Here is a shot of Andrew and the Lukes on a climbing boulder.


Daddy and Lukey having a blast!


Here are the four of us. We've had a whole lot of fun with Luke and Helena over the past few years. They've proved to be really good friends and we so look forward to getting together with them. When's the next visit, guys?
