A Day at the Zoo

It was a beautiful day on Wednesday, and Granny invited us to join her at the zoo with Charlyn, Dylan & Avery. We were initially concerned about the number of school buses we saw in the parking lot, but it didn't turn out to be a problem. The kiddos had a great time, and somehow, it never got less humorous to catch the animals going to the bathroom:).

In case you're not up on your African wildlife, this is a Bongo...


This was our first attempt at a group picture...it didn't get any easier as the day went on...


All the kids needed their own map to carry - Carter looked closely at his and informed us that we needed to get on the train to see all the animals.


Group picture on the Horny Toad bench...this was one of the best smiles from Avery...come to find out, she had tonsillitis that day, poor thing!


Here we have Carter & Trevor hissing like the snake behind them.


After seeing the animals and enjoying a picnic lunch, we went to the children's area to let them play around and run off the rest of their energy. Carter & Trevor followed the "feet only" rule for the water, but somehow their shorts still got soaking wet:).


The giant spider web was even more fun this year now that Carter has become more familiar with Spiderman.





This is the thanks Granny gets for buying all the kids snapping animal heads:).
