Today was a beautiful day so we met friends up at the zoo. The morning was busy, there were lots of school groups but after lunch it really cleared out. The kids ran and played and looked at animals and really wore themselves out. I know bed time will come early tonight.....for us all!
Sad third child fact: I'm pretty sure this is the first picture I have of Dawson on a carousel. Although I blame this on zoo policy, at $2 per child for carousel, train ride and goat feeding that adds up pretty quickly. So we usually make priorities and Dawson's has always been the TRAIN! Carousel pictures are kind of like bounce house pictures, so much JOY!!
He had a pretty big smile because we rode the train and he got to sit in the coal tender!
The otter slide is really fun, although the otters weren't diving in the water, just laying in the sun instead.
We spent almost an hour at grizzly ridge, just letting the kids run up the steps and down the slide over and over. There is also a gravel pit to dig in, canoe and bird's nest to play in and a bridge to cross.
Ava is the size of a polar bear!!
Ava loves the goats. They are the highlight of the zoo. She loves to feed them crackers and will break off tiny morsel by tiny morsel and stroke their faces and heads.
Next week to kick off summer we are going back with Carter boy and his friends!!
