Well, I waited so long to post our pictures from the zoo that now we have actually gone twice. So these are the highlight shots from those trips. I had yelled at Nick after the last couple of outings that the Millers took because I had no pictures of Cohen and I! Since I'm always the photographer, I have very little pictures of mommy and Cohen. So yes, you will notice more of Cheris and less of Nick...but really, I don't think that's all bad. :) These first few pictures are from Wed. July 23. It was Nick and my day off and it was beautiful so we decided to head up to the zoo!!
Mommy and Cohen watching the fish. The fish continue to be one of Cohen's favorites. The Great Barrier Reef at the Ft Wayne Zoo is always swamped with kids however...I don't know why, maybe just because it's air conditioned, but as much as he loves the fish, he hates crowds more so we never get to spend too much time there. 
The traditional kissing-the-orangutan picture. I think that all kids have this picture taken...come to think of it, that's a whole lot of germs on one monkey.
Is it a family portrait? Mommy, Cohen and .... oh, well, there are many similarities, but no, that isn't Nick. Guess it's not a great family shot after all.
The train ride. Cohen LOVES trains. And the ride around the lake in the cool breeze really is a great way to finish off the zoo. Kid tested, mother approved.
The parents! We are still the majority in this family after all!
The second time we've been up to the zoo lately was this past Saturday, August 9. Nick was suppose to be at work until 3pm, but when Cohen and I got home from a wedding shower at noon, there he was, waiting on us!! It was a slow day at Lowes so he just came home! We are loving all the new perks of the new job! So again, BEAUTIFUL (almost fall-like) day...what else do the Millers do when we are all home together and it's beautiful outside?...we go to the zoo!...again!!...I know, but we still aren't sick of it!!
Mommy's favorite...the orangutans!! I could sit and watch these guys all day long! Nick and Cohen don't have as much patience however.
Remember the first trip to the zoo? When it was sweltering-ly hot? And mommy and Cohen tried to get a good picture in the rocks, under the waterfall? Well, we tried again. Cohen apparently is far too distracted down here to take a good picture with Mommy. Guess we'll try again next time...
PS- look at his cute little boat shoes...he is ADORABLE in these puppies if I do say so myself!
The sea lions!! Cohen hasn't been too interested in these guys until this trip...
...And this time around, HE LOVED THEM!! You should have heard him laugh! We were entertaining the whole zoo.
We tried the kangaroo picture...he's still not really fond of being "in" things...I think it's the inheritance of daddy's claustrophobia...
Cohen's favorite thing in the whole wide world (even outside the zoo) are birds. I don't know why but he is always catching them in flight and pointing them out to us. I don't know what it is about birds, but he loves them. So we made sure to stop around the zoo this time and catch some of the many birds that they have to offer. So for our parting shots, some of Cohen's favorites....
See you soon!!
