Logan's Most Awesome Day
Typically our weekends are spent around the house, doing laundry, cleaning rooms and running errands. They are so boring that Logan gets excited when we go to Target, just because she gets to ride in the wagon. Well this weekend we decided to blow her mind a little bit and scheduled a Sunday full of amazing adventures.
We started at the Franklin Park Zoo. It is literally 2 miles from us, it was nice out and they have zebras so I figured why not. Logan loves zebras. Here she is trying to climb into their enclosure.
After 20 minutes of staring at the zebras and another 5 minutes of kicking and screaming because Logan didn't want to leave, we moved onto the tropical forest building with the monkeys. Logan is quite good at making monkey noises so I thought she might get excited to see a few primates. She loved to watch the lemurs spring about and hang upside down but I think she would have stayed with this mommy gorilla if we would have let her (and if there weren't other kids in line waiting their turn).
After all that excitement it was time to take Logan home so that she could rest up for the afternoon and the big event we had planned.
You look soft, mind if I cuddle up next to you?
So what could be more exciting than the zoo you ask? Elmo of course. We bought Sesame Street Live tickets a few weeks back after Logan started screaming Elmo's name while passing a billboard on the Pike. We just couldn't resist although we were a little afraid of what we were getting ourselves into.
After the initial excitement wore off, Logan stood on our laps in a semi-trance state, kinda like when she is watching Elmo on TV.
Every once in awhile, Logan would awake from her trance, squirm out of our laps and make a break for the stage. I swear this child has no fear, she could have cared less about whether we followed her or not. After I threatened to leave a few times she got the picture and decided that dancing in the aisle was just as good as dancing on stage with Elmo.
And here she is singing her favorite Sesame Street song towards the end of the show. I think it is safe to say that Logan had a great day. Mom and dad thought it was OK too ;)
