Last week, we drove up to Pittsburgh to visit my good college friend, Keira, and her family. While we were there, Jonah got to go to the zoo for the first time. His favorite part was probably the aquarium with all the big colorful fish. It’s hard to tell how much he really noticed the other animals, though. :)

Ella and Thomas were very nice to share so many of their toys with Jonah. Thomas has a lot of cars and trucks that were fun to play with, and Ella let Jonah ride around on her tricycle with her and push her baby stroller.

But all the playtime with the big kids made Jonah tired!

Their front yard was a good place for Jonah to watch cars, trucks, and buses go by.

On the last day of our visit, we went to the park in the morning to help get Jonah tired out so he’d sleep in the car.

Ella gave Jonah some ice cream at the ice cream stand and showed him how the big kids go down the slide.

Jonah practiced more of his walking, and we still hoped to get him sleepy. It was a nice idea and we had a fun time at the park, but he stayed awake for most of the drive anyway…

Jonah says, ‘Thanks! We had a great trip!’
