We had no plans for Mother's Day. We were probably going to spend this Mother's Day just like last, fixing up the front yard and getting summertime / funtime ready. Then our friend Dawn came to town and I decided to shake things up. What could we do to tour Dawn around (she lives in LA) and stay Tripp friendly?......HHmmmm....I know! The Zoo! The Bronx Zoo! This was Tripp, Dawn & Bob's 1st trip to the zoo. It was a beautiful day and we all had a blast!
To build excitement for our adventure, we started listening to and singing "Going to the Zoo" by Raffi between practicing our animals and sounds. Tripp became so excited that it was easy to convince Grands Capano to abandon their Mom's Day plans to join us. All I had to do was let Tripp gleefully yell "ZOO!" into the phone, followed up by his various animal sounds - they were goners!
As we traveled to, through and from the zoo, we sang our song. By the end of the day everyone knew the toddler tune and Tripp loved singing along and dancing every time!
So here is a slide show of our adventures at the zoo to the theme song of the day.
