Put Me in the Zoo

Wow! I have a lot to catch up on. Going clear back to Spring Break in the middle of April . . . we had a fun trip to the zoo with Aunt Nicole and Marc, Liz, Rachel and Benjamin. The kids were way excited to get to the zoo again. Brooklyn still talks about "my trip" to the zoo to see the "amnimals." The weather was great and so was the company.

Ally had a blast with Rachel. She literally dragged her from one animal to the next. Ally also provided the drama for the day. She was trying to jump out of the wagon and did not quite clear the side. She landed on her face. I did not see it, but Joseph said everyone around them just went quiet after they heard the thud. She scraped her chin up and had a nice bruise on her forehead. After we cleaned her up and gave her a few snuggles, she was fine. We were lucky.

Of course, one of the highlights of any visit to the zoo is a ride on the carousel. Zac chose the snow leopard this time. He usually likes to ride on a ferocious animal. The girls on the other hand . . . .

decided to play it safe. They all piled onto the peacock bench. Sariah especially wanted to ride without going up and down. They had a ball.
This is us leaving the zoo. We had to haul Brook out kicking and screaming . . . for real. It is a little hard to see, but the seat of her pants is wet. She had a blow out. That has not happened in so long that I did not have a change of clothes for her. Poor thing. All in all it really was a great day and we can't wait to go again!
