Zoo

It was a great day at the zoo.  The weather was amazing and the animals were out & about.  Claire & I took the 5 kids while Brian & Cory golfed.  We only had a single umbrella stroller that they took turns sitting in and it worked out great.  Our goal was to wear them out so they'd nap in the afternoon.  Mission accomplished.  We were all pretty tired after walking the entire zoo but we couldn't ask for a better day.

 

 Four little cuties.

 Teasing the poor baboon with a pretzel.  I swear his mouth was watering.

 

Reesie dropped her map in the deer exhibit and was really stressed out about who would get it out.  She really didn't want to hurt the deer.

 We love the Komodo Dragon exhibit, especially this sculpture.

 Ryder boy rode on the carousel for the first time.  He was very stoic.  

I think it might take some getting used to.

Reese was turning into a hot mess on the carousel. She wanted the dragon but another little girl in front of us got it.  She was so distraught and Claire and I threw her on another animal because it was about to start.  She was SO upset and cried the entire ride.  We could feel it all starting to fall apart.  Time to go home.
