a day at the zoo

a day off from school meant a day at the zoo for my monkeys! we had such a nice day. really perfect weather, the kids were in great moods, and we had great friends with us too! it was wonderful to spend the day outside just enjoying the kiddos! ken and mck were very interested in reading the info at the zoo . . . kam (plugging her nose in many pics!) was very into the smells, and b.c. just thought everything was cool . . . but really loved the orangutans! i think everyone though the coolest (and grossest) thing we saw was an elephant peeing . . . it literally peed a bucket-load! it was really neat and i think we talked about it for days!

a trip to the austin zoo

oh how we have missed our bff's! we had such a fun time hanging out at the austin zoo for the afternoon! so many cool things to see . . . and even better friends to hang out with! :) it truly amazed me how interested the kids were in the goats! hello, we have goats! they still thought it was so fun to feed all the farm animals! i think the highlight of the afternoon was the lion . . . roaring and spraying, the GIANT pig at feeding time, and of course the train ride! :) ken had a story about EVERY single animal in the park, b.c. LOVED the choo choo and talked about it the whole way home, kam thought the turkey was pretty cool, and mck was happy to be with a&d! can't wait to see our bff's again soon! :)
