thankfully, there were planes to look at in seattle, and we borrowed a portable dvd player from a friend, so becks hunkered down with his chips ahoy and headphones for a little barney/wiggles action during our stop too :)
becks did great during our flights, and i managed to get us, the stroller, and our humungous carry-on (thanks to my suitcase being overweight) everywhere we needed to be on time - whew! some of the fam met us at the airport, and becks ran and gave them big hugs and did great til he thought they were trying to kidnap him in the car! after a little breakdown, we were good to go though. 1st stop after a little nap....the calgary zoo!
we love the portland zoo, but the calgary zoo is even bigger with more animals, so becks was in heaven! well....he was in heaven til the dinosaurs came to life and started moving and roaring at him! haha he was a little freaked out but did some roaring back of his own too :) it was pretty cute!
of all the animals at the zoo, i think becks could probably spend the most time staring into the fish tanks. he loves those little things - forget about the elephants and hippos and giraffes!
it was a little steamy in the butterfly room, but becks got up close and personal with this giant blue beauty!
the zoo was a great stop to make before surgery the next day, and we all had lots of fun even with the chilly weather and scary dinosaurs! it's great to be home again, that's for sure :)

I can't believe you're already 35 weeks pregnant! How do pregnancies go so fast when they're not your own? :) Isn't it fun to watch your little one get right into stuff like the zoo? It just gets better the older they get! I'm dying to hear about Beck's surgery. I'm glad he's doing okay!
35 Weeks already? Seriously? Why do other women's pregnancies go so much more quickly than my own?
I loved those new dinosaurs at the Calgary Zoo. We've been up a few times to see them, and they are so great every time.
Don't you love the new butterfly house?
