baby roos

Day 3 started out -- as usual -- at the beach in the morning. Savannah tried to write her name in the sand and her crankypants brother kept messing it up on her. Stinker.
Day 3 started out where else...at the beach and it was another beautiful day.
 But, Gage wasn't feeling it. He wanted to go back within a few minutes, and when I said no, he went up and parked himself by the dunes. He sat there pouting.
 We decided that maybe he needed a break from the beach, so we decided to go to the zoo instead. He was much happier there -- for a while, at least.  This sweet donkey loved having his ears scratched.
 We wandered around feeding zoo puffs to any critter we could
 And loved this little baby goat that we found - he liked zoo puffs too :-)
We had hoped to see the baby lemurs, but they only had adults out and wouldn't allow kids under 4 to be with them. So, we decided to see the baby kangaroos again!  I think Savannah loves this little guy (named Biggy) - I have so many sweet pictures of Biggy sniffing her cheek and snuggling her neck. They are so sweet (they are 10 months old).
 The zookeepers put the roo in a little pouch and then let you hold them.  Gage was cranky at this point, but liked this little guy enough to smile, at least.
 We were finished at the zoo early - 10:30, but noticed that Scoops was open for ice cream. Since we were on vacation we said why not --- and started a tradition of getting ice cream early in the day for the remainder of our trip :-)
 After a nap (much needed for the cranky boy), we went to the beach for a while and made Adam into a mer-man :-)
 and...Gage sat on his head - call it a day :-)
