Landon's First Trip Alone

Landon was soooo excited to leave for Alabama before everyone else! He left without any hesitation and had the greatest week in AL, getting all the attention from his grandparents and cousins. It was hard for us but we were so happy for him to get to do something alone and to get to go to his favorite place in the world!!

While in AL, Landon got to pursue his passion and participated in the Zookeeper of the Day Program at the Birmingham Zoo. Knowing he was going to be scooping poop, we wondered if this would make or break his desire for a career in the zoo. Well.....HE LOVED IT! He got to go behind the scenes with many of the animals, helped to feed them, and even scooped poop but said "you know....scooping poop is not half as bad as you'd think!". I sent the camera with him and he didn't take any pictures and I sincerely regret not taking a picture of him in front of the zoo with his Zoo keeper Louis. I'm so glad he got a chance to participate in something he loves and it was worth every dime to see how much he loved it afterward......we love our Landon!!
