Day at the Zoo

Finally, a Saturday with NO committments....ahhhhhh! What do I do? Take my kids to the zoo. I so do not like the zoo, however, my membership expires this month. It's also the last day of 70 degree weather so I thought..what the heck! It was extra good because Glade was available to go with us as well. Unfortunately Chelsey had to work so she wasn't able to come. We started out nice and early, packed a lunch and headed out. The thing Bo most wanted to do was see the zebras. Other than the giraffes, that was the first thing we went to. He didn't get to enjoy them too much because he had to go to the bathroom and was way to wiggly to look. I think we hit every thing there and everyone held up really well. We didn't lose anyone and for the most part they all got along. We had lunch near the petting zoo, where it was also lunch time for the goats. They were mostly in a pen waiting for their lunch so it wasn't that fun. Here is picturemania from our day at the zoo.

This was right when we got there and about the only time they were in the wagon.

My family!

Look at all the cute little monkeys! No, really, lots of monkeys behind them.

I guess Dad needed a lift.

Lunch Time!

The squirrel came right up to Nick, stole the whole cracker and zoomed into the trees.

Tawoo Wuv!

This is how Katy was most of the time in the petting zoo, on my leg!

Pretty princess

The monkey brothers

Rhett calls himself the first "gangsta turtle".

Look! They're twins.

They had a thing that clocked your speed. They all tried it over and over. The dumb thing was that they had you running up hill. Nick clocked the fastest, shocking!

This is Bo running at an amazing 6 mph

Stephen, Glade and I all clocked at 10. Not showing the pictures of him and me!

This is how the day ended. Bo was asleep in no time

Katy didn't give in so easily, but she cried for awhile. We convinced her to stop crying "mommy" and to cry other things like: monkey, giraffe, elephant, bubbles, etc. Of course it wasn't long before she was laughing. And just moments after that, crashed. We took Glade to work and everyone enjoyed a doughnut. It was a really nice day!
