Greek Introduction: Baby in a Backpack - Day 14

My wife surprised me today and asked if I wanted to go to the small zoo in the community. I’ve been once before, but it was in a whirlwind, because her father was waiting for us in the car. I hoped this time would be less stressful. We thought Troy might enjoy seeing all of the animals come to life that are represented in his toys and that he’s been seeing during the endless hours we’ve spent watching Animal Planet during this trip.

We arrived just in time to catch the dolphin show, which was pretty cool. They had seven dolphins doing tricks while a trainer taught us about dolphins and their abilities. They did the presentation in both Greek and English, which I appreciated for their consideration. Troy liked it when the dolphins jumped out of the water and did flips. My wife liked it when the dolphins sped across the pool at full speed. I liked it all.

The rest of the zoo was hit or miss with Troy. For example, he seemed completely disinterested in the bears, but seemed to like the Komodo Dragon. He loved the giraffes, but couldn’t care less about the ostriches. Oh well, we don’t expect him to remember most of this, but it’s fun to experience it with him anyway.
