We did have lots of fun at the zoo. First, we checked out the insectarium. We were able to see a lot of little insects and then we walked through a butterfly room.Next, we went to the River's Edge where we saw many animals. Here Jack is looking at the fish that swim with the hippos.
We were excited to see the elephants. In this picture Jack is watching one of the baby (3-year-old) elephants and her mommy.
Next we saw the two baby elephants together (one is 2 and one is 3).
We saw numerous other animals in the River's Edge. From there, we took the train one stop to the Red Rocks station. There we saw lions and tigers.
We saw some zebras.
Jack likes to climb on the little fence to see the animals better.
Alice the camel has two humps. Go Alice, Go! (if you don't know the song "Alice the Camel" then that probably makes no sense to you).
Jack and I saw some ostriches (not to be confused with emus - I really don't know the difference).
Here is a picture of me from January 2007 when I was pregnant with Jack. I am imitating the emu we saw while we were in Australia. Notice how different it is from the ostriches Jack and I saw today.
Jack and I found a nice, quiet place for lunch. We had Jack's favorite, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Jack calls them "jelly sandwiches." In fact, he even calls peanut butter "jelly sandwich." I gave him a slice of apple with peanut butter on it recently. He licked the peanut butter off it and handed it back to me saying, "more jelly sandwich, please." No matter how many times I emphasize that it is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, he still just calls it a jelly sandwich. It's probably one of those things that when he starts to call it by the proper name, I will miss him calling it a jelly sandwich.

I want to see Alice the Camel with 5 humps...now that would be something! So sorry about Jack not sleeping - don't give up! Lily went through phases of not napping, but here we are approaching 4 yrs old, and she's still good for 2 hours most days. Maybe Jack will be worn out from the swimming party tomorrow and nap then. Good luck!
