April 2017: Gorillas and Friends and Ottawa, oh my!

April was a chaotic month but we were still able to squeeze in a lot of fun things. In a spur of the moment decision, prompted by Fitzy saying “I want to see a gorilla today,” we went to the zoo. Both Carly and I have some real issues with the zoo but it’s fun to take Fitz now before he starts asking questions about the moral implications of keeping animals confined to such small spaces. Instead, we can just yell “ZEBRA!” and watch him get excited.

ABOVE: This baby gorilla charmed Fitz very much. He came up and banged on the window, which Fitz referred to as being “high-fived” by the gorilla. Gotta love the deforestation mural. Must make the gorillas feel at home.

BELOW: We went to look at the cherry blossoms blooming in High Park with about another 1-million Torontonians. We were joined by Eli and his parents, Callum and his dad Brian, and Leo and his dad James. The kids were mostly interested in running around on rocks and the hills.

For Easter, we jetted off to Ottawa where Fitz got to spend some time with his cousins Jack and Maggie.
