Thanksgiving trip, part 1

As usual we went to Maryland for Thanksgiving. First we stayed a few days with Tim's parents, a.k.a. Grandmother and Grandpa.

Samuel practiced walking by pushing around this little chair, which is exactly what his big brother had done at almost the same age.



The day before Thanksgiving we went to the National Zoo with Grandmother and Grandpa. The elephants are always a treat for us there since we don't have elephants at our local zoo. This time we got there right in time to see a demonstration of how the keepers train and care for the elephants.

We saw a lot of animals at the zoo, but other than the elephants we only took pictures of this cow...
