They hadn't bothered with any of the fancy zoo themed carriages - nice as they may be - for the same reason they hadn't brought one to start with. Eddie would be in and out of it and crying over the entire process, and Josh would end up having to carry him anyway, so they'd just skipped all of that entirely. Eddie had never been to a zoo before. It wasn't a luxury they could afford back home. So everything was new to him. He was very much his father's son, in that, even at so young an age, his large blue eyes would soak in the world around him as if everything was inspirational. He was incessantly curious, and entirely fearless - which Josh was grateful for because he was clearly not traumatized by their lifestyle and his environment. At the same time, it caused him grief, because Eddie was everywhere, in everything. Having to touch and taste and smell and get absolutely covered in life. Sometimes he wondered if Ford had been the same way as a child. If what had happened to him would happen to Eddie. And if anything Josh did would be enough when the time came.
Eddie gave a shriek, pointing across from them and Josh looked. "You can feed the giraffes?" He shifted Eddie as the toddler leaned forward. "I have never been to a zoo this incredibly cool."
