A Zoo Day!

Since the weather was so beautiful on Wednesday, Crystal and I decided to take the kids to the zoo. They were so excited to see the animals and be out in the sunshine. All of the animals were very active. We had a scary experience with one of the apes running up and smacking on the glass. Everyone was wanting a turn in the stroller towards the end of the day as we walked and walked and walked. I don't know how the pioneers walked for thousands of miles. I was exhausted after a day walking around the zoo.

Checking out the meerkats.

The kids were so good to stay right with us and take turns in the stroller. Each of them had a map in hand pointing out where we were and where we needed to go. Michelle and Ciara were so cute walking along holding hands. It was just a really fun and enjoyable day!

Each time we saw an animal statue, all of the kids had to climb on it, hang on it, and pose for a picture. What else are they for?

Ethan, Charles, Michelle, and Ciara all liked the crocodile. "He has lots of big teeth".

Checking out the crocodile!

Charles favorite animal was the elephants. He thought it was pretty cool to watch them take a bath by getting sprayed with the hose. I know what he will be doing this spring when we hook up the hoses. Watch out Michelle!!

What a terrific day we had. Beautiful spring weather in November and great friends!!
