Zoo and Varsity!

This afternoon, we took the chance to go to the Atlanta Zoo and then get some Varsity food afterwards. It's going to be raining alot this weekend and our zoo tickets expire with 2007, so we figured we better go today. It was a great day to go, virtually no one there! And the weather was just right. The animals were really stirring. We even got to watch the lion roar several times... pretty cool. Gvido would have liked more crocodile sightings, but to no avail.


Then, on to an Atlanta tradition; The Varsity. Yum! He found the burger to be acceptable, but would not try the chili on the fries. He tries most things, but evidently the chili looked scary. Oh well, more for us. He loved going through downtown Atlanta. In his continued fascination with spiderman, he projected which buildings spiderman could jump between! He knows that New York is the "real" home to spiderman and has asked if we can go there some day. Enjoy a few outtakes from today, we're so cool! He got closest to the kangaroos, as you can tell. I practically had to pull his hand inside the fence. I didn't know how well a chopped off index finger would go over with his government upon his return... I know, I'm such a party pooper.
