Going to the ZOO

 The weather has started to get nice and it puts you in the mood to go outside! So we decided with just a few days shy of 10 months we would take Keifer to the zoo for the first time. Since he is always so observant, studies every thing and LOVES playing with Balboa and Nova, we thought this would be the perfect idea! However, Saturday got here and the weather had cooled down again. It was a little chilly and windy but we were determined to have some fun so we bundled Keifer up and headed to the Gainsville Zoo. Jason had just told me this zoo existed. I had only ever heard of the Dallas or Ft. Worth Zoo but this one is so much closer to us. It is not a very big zoo but for a young child that can't hang all day it's perfect! Just long enough to have a good time and enough animals to get a variety. 

Keifer wasn't near as interested as we thought he would be and was in a very blah mood. Not like him at all but little did we know that he was sick. He started running fever on our way home and his nose was runny. He had gotten his first cold so the next few days we stayed home and let him rest. We decided we would try again when he was feeling better.
