We’re Going to the Zoo, zoo, zoo

It is a Raffi song…you will have it stuck in your head now if you know which song I am talking about!

We did finally get to the zoo this past weekend. We have been meaning to for a while now and finally went! We decided to invest in some zoo passes. The boys are so little and it is so expensive to go for one day for a couple hours that it will be better now we can go more often and for the short amount to time that the boys last and enjoy the time we are there.  Carter was a happy camper, as you can tell. His favorite part was the ducks. Imagine that – a zoo full of animals and the kid lights up like a firework when he sees the ducks!!!! Easy to please, my kind of kid!!! It was nice though, we sat and watched the ducks for about 20 minutes since we weren’t in a rush.

 

The flamingos were a hit as well. I have some pretty good lookin’ boys if I do say so myself. I just wish I got more of Bry’s profile in this one.

   

The monkey exhibit was Bryan’s favorite. You walk into a cage area and you can’t have anything hanging out of pockets, food, etc or else the monkeys could come and snatch it!!! You can’t really tell how close we are to the monkeys by these pictures, but it is really close. They said when it is not so busy the monkeys come right by your feet! We will be visiting that exhibit each time we go.

Shell and Rich also joined us on our Zoo trip and it was fun to have them there, as well as a couple extra hands to help with Andrew. He is a busy little man. Overall it was a fun day minus the HEAT. Yes, November 1st and it was very very hot. It will be nice when it cools down a bit more – I miss long sleeved shirts!
