Putting the "O" in Zoo

So we went to the Zoo on Sunday. It's been a pretty regular Sunday kinda thing this past month. Summer is literally days away it seems, so we have to get out while we can. So, this Sunday we took 'ol Grandpa "O" to the zoo with us. Grandma Mimi was back in Louisiana for the weekend so it was just us 5 this time.

The place was packed, but it's big enough to spread around so it wasn't too bad. The boys had a good time just wandering around for a bit. Then we decided to get a bite to eat. All the usual suspects; chicken taco salads, chicken fry bread, etc. Again, I can't stress this point enough: If you live in the Maricopa County area..get your mouth to Cafe Lobo at the Phoenix Zoo. Rockin' food at crazy-cheap prices.

Anyway, after lunch the boys put the hard sell on "O" for some dessert. Jake wanted an ice cream-sandwich and Brady wanted cotton candy. Mmmmm...sugar. Jake ate his treat as usual, with no mess and not a drop wasted. Brady....well. Turns out he wanted just PURPLE cotton candy so he had to dig through the rainbow colored bag until he found the good stuff. He was just hurling it out at "O" as fast as he could. Hence the smile on the old man's face. The picture of Brady is classic B-man shenanigans. Give him sugar and opportunity and he'll make you belly laugh every time.
