Last Saturday we went to the zoo with friends. (As you can see, this is one of Joaquin's very good friends. They do this obnoxious thing where they try to walk while hugging each other. Obnoxious because of course they run into things and eventually fall and if you tell them to stop they pout and say things like, "I was just hugging him, mom!") We altered our normal routine and did the cat house first (it's my favorite and since it was a ridiculously hot day, we needed someplace shady) and then took in the bird show. As you can see, Eliana spent the show under Daddy's hat. We're still trying to protect her from too much sun so when no shade is available, Daddy's jumps in to help. She might also have thought it was entertainment..... She was a pretty good little trooper, letting us spend the morning there and picnic and go to the splash pad before breaking down completely. Joaquin and his buddy had a great time getting wet (really it was so hot getting wet was the only reasonable thing to do outside). Joaquin discovered the joy of placing his cap directly over a water jet and then watching it be sprayed into the air. This was so amusing we spent at least 15 minutes doing it. Eliana found it interesting too, or at least she found Joaquin interesting as you can see. She sat on Daddy's lap and watched for awhile before she became too tired to endure. Joaquin can usually make her smile unless she's super upset - he's just so cool. I was quite proud of her, being sweet without her nap and in the blazing heat.
