Some days are full of parental promise and a sense of purpose-we are going out for an ADVENTURE and we are all going to have an unforgettable family moment. The zoo seems full of that sort of promise on a Sunday-so you find yourself amongst throngs of other well intentioned, newish parents dragging their equally underwhelmed babies through the expansive sprawl that is the SF Zoo. The zoo is a trip best planned, much like a camping trip with multiple layers of clothing, various baby rolling and/or carrying devices and food of your own making. Theo, while oblivious to many of the animals, did seem to enjoy (if moderately) the large plastic wagon he got to ride around in....
Other days are more realistic in their parental participation-entertaining a newly energized almost walker takes creativity and at times, a fallback to the simple standbys such as a ticklefest.
