Mother's Day 2012

We just got back from our Mother's Day adventure, and we are exhausted but we had so much fun! It is sad to not be able to spend time with our mom's or Grandma's on this day, but Dan did everything to make it special for me. My day started out with a sweet homemade card from Cohen with Daddy's help. Melt my heart!

Then we headed to Georgetown Cupcakes...ate a couple cupcakes and then headed to the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. Cohen slept all the way there so he was all recharged when we made it to the zoo!


First animal was a toucan...creatively named Sam! ;)
 Cohen and Mommy!

Running Zebras

Ostriches

Cheetah #1

Taking a break by the giraffe feeding station. Too bad there were no giraffes up by the feeding station to feed :(


Dan eating a left over cupcake by the giraffes

Elephants

Daddy and Cohen, "the thinker"


Apparently his trunk got to be a bit heavy so he set it on the railing to rest it. 


Colobus  Monkey and its baby. Do you see her holding the baby in front of her?

Dad and Cohen checking out the turtles

 Mom and Cohen by the Chimpanzees

When Cohen doesn't want to hold your hand he'll just plop down on the ground. 
 Looks like a little boy may have one the battle this time....and he's pretty proud of it!
 Checking out some birds

 Cohen and Daddy on the swinging bridge. Cohen loved it!



Cohen hanging out with the tortoise 



 Cohen love watching the waterfalls and the ducks in the water





Mom and Cohen walking along the lily pads. I was too scared to step on the lily pads myself so I climbed along the edge. I was just scared that they wouldn't hold an adult! It was awkward, but anything for my little buddy. He only stepped in the water twice! :)




Cohen loved it.

 Otters



Cohen the Turtle





Prairie dogs and baby prairie dogs.

Roaring with the Lion 



 Trying to get a picture with Cohen

Cohen is so great at giving hugs! What a sweetie pie!

 More hugs!

Piggy back ride back to the car with dad

And then off to Cheeseburger in Paradise for some deep fried pickles, burgers and drinks! Cohen fell asleep on the way to dinner so he was definitely recharged when we got there!



Snackin' on dad's french fries



Doing a little jumping...releasing some energy!
 

He grabbed his sippy cup and sat by the window by himself...not sure why!

Cheers!?

And then on the way home we used the bluetooth in my car (so Cohen could say hi too) to call my mom to wish her a happy mother's day. Cohen was chatting and singing up a storm in the back seat. Funny kiddo. Thank you to my amazing husband and awesome son for a very fun Mother's day. I love you both very much and not sure what I would do without you two! Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there!

Love, 
Katie
