Zoo Trip - Yayyyy a Nice Day!!!

Last Thursday was a gorgeous day at 81 degrees and the Ham's and Allee's decide to take advantage of the beautiful sunshine and take the kiddos to the zoo. It was a discount day, only five dollars a person to enter over the age of 3, so we got outside, entertained the kids, had great family and friend fun, and all for a VERY cheap price. I loved basking in the sun and the kids loved running around looking at all of the animals and talking to them. With it being a week day and so early in the season, the zoo wasn't very busy so the kids could run ahead a little without loosing site of them and worrying too much, every now and then the little legs would get to going a little fast for their bodies and we would worry about getting skinned up knees, and in fact, I believe, both Olivia and Ethan fell...but only Ethan had some tears. It was a great day to take the kids out and I am ready for many more of those!

Braden wanted to pose in front of the dragon in a funky pose...we have no idea what he is doing, but he thinks this is an AWESOME picture :)

Braden, Olivia, & Ethan - this is a duplicate picture that is on Terri's blog as well, but it is a good one of all three kids so I had to add it too :)

The carousel ride was closed, but the gentlemen working on it were kind enough to give the kids a free quick ride. They loved it, and so did us mom's because it turned into a free ride rather than two bucks a head - ha!

We were pooped by the time we got to the bench...as we should have been, the zoo closed at 4:00 p.m. and we didn't even leave until after 4:30 p.m. So we got our walking in!
