A few weeks ago we took our first trip to the zoo this spring. Ethan had a great time riding on Rick's shoulders and playing in the kids' area. Unfortunately he can get up into the "Hay Loft" but is scared to go down the tunnel slide and doesn't want to climb down the way he came. So, after he was up there for like 20 minutes (and had just retreated up against the wall, rather than standing at the window calling for us), we had to distract the worker so that Rick could climb up in there and get him. Rick pushed him down the slide (which Ethan thought was great fun after all). We'll have to get a little more climbing practice before we let him in there again.
We rode the train, which Ethan loved, especially holding the tickets. We were very close to the longhorn scratching his ear on the post when we boarded the train, but Ethan was much more interested in the water tower and windmill. I kept saying, "Look at the big longhorn, E!" and he would just point and say, "See the windmill, see the windmill!"

I love it! Especially the windmill comment. LOL!
On rescuing children from slides... I was 8 months prego with Max when Chloe got stuck up at the top of a McDonald's playland slide. She was wailing at the top of her lungs while I desperately tried to scoot backwards (couldn't crawl at that point) up the slide to find her. Luckily, another mom caught me halfway up and rescued Chloe for me!
I have had to go up in the Chick-Fil-A play area more than once, so we probably should have known better.
