We're all going to the zoo today

We've been meaning to get back to the zoo for a while, especially now that A is a little bigger. The weather's been pretty good the last few days as well. Though when we got down to the zoo it was awfully windy, so it ended up being jackets weather (probably on account it's right next to the ocean, so we were getting all that breeze). Anyway, A got a good look at the giraffes, including the new baby giraffe that was in the giraffe house. We got the usual takeout sandwiches from Picnix - which are always fabulous. But just as we were finishing up lunch we noticed the redness on Z's face had started to form into blisters. After a benadryl, we decided to push on and go to the carousel. As we were waiting, Z put his hands up on the railing and they were all red and blistered too. It's the first time he's ever had his hands react so badly...so off to the emergency we went. By the time we saw the doctor the benadryl seemed to have kicked in, so it's still a mystery exactly what caused the reaction. It doesn't seem to be something he ate, so it looks like it was something he touched or something in the air...so it's off to the allergist again this week to see if we can solve the mystery. Here's a couple of photos from the zoo. In the picture of Z on the carousel you can actually see how red his hand was getting - and that was the good side...
