Day at the zoo!

Today was GORGEOUS!!!  :)  When I realized how nice it was this morning, I got instantly antsy to get outside. Josh was working a double shift today so we called him and convinced him that he needed a mid-day break to the zoo! :) We went at noon and Josh met up with us at 1:30. It was so nice! Grace wanted to see the giraffes, Kayleigh was excited about the zebras, and Caleb wanted the bears and monkeys. We got to see all three up close!  :)

Three in a row! Only way to survive when little feet get tired of walking!

Kayleigh riding on top is smiling with the sleeping lions. :) 

They were VERY impressed with the HUGE bird (ostrich)!

Kay, Grace, and Caleb looking at the approaching peacock.

PEACOCK!

Fascinating..

Caleb observing...

"But mom, it is too sunny to take pics with the rhino." -Grace

Kay with the lemur.

Kay was most excited about her pic with the zebra (too bad Grace bopped in front at the last minute -whoops).

Grace really wanted to see the giraffe today. :) 

And she was VERY happy when she got to see the giraffe up close!

Kay was pretty happy too!

No clue where this face is coming from!

So happy!

Could never get Caleb to take his eyes off the animals to look at me.

Enjoying a picnic lunch by the bear exhibit. 

Looking at the bear.

Caleb seriously kept yelling, "Bear! Hide!" repeatedly the whole time!

There is a kangaroo somewhere behind us I promise!

The girls were hopping like kangaroos!

Daddy enjoying the day too!

The zoo was perfect. We loved every moment. I also LOVED that by the time we made it home all three were totally out and I got to enjoy an hour to myself! GOOD DAY! :)
