Thursday----Zoo Day!!!

Chet, myself and the kiddos went to the zoo and it was an absolutely beautiful day for it.

Here are the monkeys we took to the zoo with us...........pretty cute bunch, huh???

 Our first stop was to see the zoo's new polar bear......beautiful animal!

At the polar bear tank.

 Standing with the Gigantic Polar bear.

Some of the other animals we saw at the zoo................

My baby boy all zonked out after about an hour at the zoo, it sure is a rough life huh???

 Some old car at the zoo.

My silly monkeys!



Now let me tell you about the birds and the bees and the flower and the trees and the camels at the zoo....

Ok, so maybe the song doesn't have a line about camels but let me tell you about the camels we saw!!!!

They almost had me explaining the birds and the bees to my precious little innocent children, i'll just show you what i'm talking about...............



Nature at it's finest?!?! No need to enlarge this photo, huh?

Fortunately, my kids just kind of laughed at it and asked no further questions.....whew!!!

Anyway, moving on............

Chet was determined to get some good pics of these cute little squirrel monkeys and he did.

My kids......Owen wanted to get to the playground so he wouldn't smile, still love that sweet face, I love Katelin hamming it up with Rylies headband on!

It's not a complete trip to the zoo without a train ride and of course a kiss for daddy from his sweet little girl!



My sweet boy and me!

We made one final stop at the polar bear before we left hoping to see him in the water and he was!

Those hands do not belong to my kids but still pretty cool to see the size differance.






I like how you can see Owen's reflection in this picture, pretty cool.

We have a Friend Of The Zoo membership so this was a free trip to the zoo so we let each of the kids pick something from the gift shop.

Evan got a cute little t'shirt, Katelin 2 little polar bears, Rylie a snowglobe and Owen got a little zoo keeper set with a motorcycle but it was open and being played with before I got a pic of it.

It was a super great day with my favorite people EVER! Can't wait to do it again.
