Zoo Boo Part 2

Yesterday while we were at Zoo Boo, I received a text from David about seeing if we could hang out this weekend. I called him right back and he asked me if we would want to go to the zoo with him and Dina! I explained to him that I was calling him from the zoo! But I said we could do something with him and Dina either Saturday or Sunday morning. And I told him that Andrew would have no problem going back to the zoo if they wanted to go. He loves the zoo so much that he would totally be into going back to back days! And sure enough, after we left Zoo Boo yesterday, Andrew kept asking for "more Zoo Boo" so I reassured David it would be fine.

Uncle Anh Tuan was coming down this weekend and arrived at our house a little after 9am this morning. We made breakfast and got ready to meet David and Dina. Uncle Foo stayed at home to rest (and let's be honest, he's not really much into going to the zoo unless we really asked him to go, which he probably would then). Andrew really loved going to the zoo with David and Dina. He had fun watching the elephant bath and running through Natural Encounters as he always does. We did a few of the Zoo Boo activities. Andrew, of course, had to go back to the Pumpkin Patch and the tattoo stand. And he enjoyed checking out the big inflatable Fiesta parrot with David.

Once we were almost done, we started talking about plans for lunch. David was craving dim sum and requested Fung's Kitchen. We are always up for dim sum! Andrew wanted to watch the costume parade that was starting in a little bit. Since David and Dina had parked a little farther away, David was going to start walking to the car, go pick up Anh Tuan at our house, and then meet us at the restaurant. So, we parted ways and headed over to the reflection pool where the parade was taking place. We asked if Andrew wanted to walk in it, but he declined. Andrew enjoyed watching the parade and waving to the kids. For a little while, I thought he was going to change his mind about participating, but he stood firm with wanting just to be the spectator.
