Zoo Time!

We were lucky enough to have Kissie and Pata join us at the zoo on Saturday. With the improved adult to kid ratio, I got tons of pictures! It also happened to be baby Dari's birthday (the baby elephant) so we were treated to free pie by Village Inn too. We arrived right at opening and missed most of the hot weather and the crowds-- perfect timing!

The kids were so excited to jump on these horses for a photo op. Fun, but I still can't figure out why they were at the zoo!
With more helping hands, Luke was able to walk around a lot of the zoo. He loved not being cooped up in the stroller the whole time. Violet's walking legs abandoned her and she took over the stroller for most of the time, so she didn't make it into as many pictures.
Doesn't it look like he's saying -- Yum lunch! --??
Or how about these guys?
The nice thing about getting to the zoo early is being able to see the animals up and about-- like these three brothers here.
Luke loved looking at the animals and squawking at them. It's fun to see him really be aware of what's going on around him--he's certainly not a baby anymore!
The girls are always up for a carousel ride. Luke-- not so much. He was pretty much terrified and clinging to Kevin the whole time.
Luke had a hard time sitting still during the bird show, but he still held his dollar from Pata out for the bird to put in the donation box afterward.
The rest of us thought the bird show was pretty impressive though!
We finished off the visit with a train ride.
