A Day at the Zoo

Okay.  So, I know I have posted a lot lately but this will be it for a while.  Well, probably not because we will be heading to the beach next weekend...so that will be lots of post I am sure!!  We got up early this morning and headed to the zoo.  We were going rain or shine and thankfully while we were there the sun was shining!   Here are the pictures from our day!

For those of you who know Evan, know his favorite thing to say is "What's this"...so here he is asking that question.  We only heard it 10 million more times today! :)

The strollers went back to the car quite early.  Emma was more interested in them than the animals.  Buckling the straps will keep her entertained for quite a while!

Our first animal picture...the monkeys!

Walking around like a big boy taking it all in!

The lions.  The tiger was right next to the lions but wouldn't come out.  He was the only main animal we didn't get to see.

The ostrich and the zebras. 

The alligator.  I wasn't a fan of this little fella!

Evan feeding the giraffe it's lettuce like a champ.  He isn't afraid of any animals!

Up close and personal with that giraffe!

The turtles!

Emma loved to hang over the wall until an animal appeared!

The elephant!

Here are my two boys listening to the man talk about the elephant!

No words for this crazy animal!

The gorilla.  He has only been at Riverbank Zoo for 4 months!

The kangaroo.  We literally could have walked up and petted this one.  We actually got to go in where they keep them.  People were walking right by and they didn't mind at all. 

Emma wasn't coming any closer to that turkey!

Evan petting the cow.  He LOVES the cows at MaMa & PaPa's....so this was right up his alley!

 

The bears were wrestling with each other.  It was good entertainment!

We had to take a family photo before we left.  It was HOT by now.  We all were pretty gross & sweaty!

After the Zoo, we went to Rush's for lunch and then headed home.  We hadn't even made it back to the interstate and this is what we had....

One knocked out baby...

And another knocked out baby!!!



 It was such a fun day.  As soon as we got home...it started raining again...so we were back to being stuck inside.  We did manage to get he garage cleaned out this afternoon though!  The fish fry tonight was as YUMMY as always.   Emma & Evan both cleaned their plates!  They are my kids though and I am a HUGE fan of fish!   They both had a fun-filled day! They didn't even make a sound when we laid them down tonight.  I'm thinking we might get to sleep in a little later in the morning.  Justin will be glad since he didn't get in from fishing until 4:00 this morning!  But that's our life and we are loving every minute of it!!
