Day Two of Baby Gray

It was so easy to imagine if you were there with these things roaming around.
I have to say, it was creepy.  Their eyes followed you.

Just inside the front gate.  There was a big guy (dino) looking over the edge of the entrance spitting water at us too.

I guess this is the guy who preceeded T-Rex.  He was much larger, faster, and more dangerous.  Blech.

This pic was taken in honor of my new grandson with a bit of a cone head.  ;-)
Ds too, trying to show how displeased he is to be there. 

Awesomeness right here.  I love the pterodactyl.  To be honest, I didn't read what this is exactly.
But it sure looks like a Pterodactyl.

So on Thursday, the day after Grayson was born, dh and I were going to meet at the hospital (a long way away) after his workday was done.  So I took ds and headed down to the Minnesota Zoo before our annual membership expired and before the Dinosaur exhibit closed.  He, being 13, wasn't thrilled to go, particularly to a baby's exhibit, but too bad!  It was only 75 deg. and we were going to get out and do something different.  It was pretty fun, the exhibit was much shorter than I would've thought and I ran out of room on my SD card right before the T-Rex!  (My favorite)  But I still got some good pics.

We took a tractor up to the farm and there's a nice restaurant there.  Eric was in a much better mood then.  Food seems to have that affect on teenage boys.

The sky was so gorgeous that day.  It was like living in the Rockies.  They were so high and towering.  There were horizontal loose gray clouds floating in front of the big cauliflower-type ones.  It looked like a panorama.  Huge, heavy rain drops started falling on our way out to the car.  We stopped under some shelter for a minute until it stopped.  It smelled so dang good too.  Hot pavement with rain on it.  Childhood.  :-)

Gramps with the new guy Grayson

We got to the hospital and met up with dh.  We spent about 45 min there.  Everyone's doing well. 

Then this morning I woke up to see this on Facebook:

Grayson wearing the hat I knitted him.  He's got matching socks too.
So sweet and content.
