A day at the zoo

My cousin Tara is in town for a few days from Tucson so we really wanted to go with her and her kids to the zoo. I am sad to say that Sienna is the only one of my kids that have ever been to the zoo before. After looking at the weather, today looked like the warmest day this week. So we surprised the kids and checked them out of school after lunch and drove up to the zoo. The weather was perfect...about 71 degrees. The kids had such a good time being with their cousins and seeing the Rrrrrrrr's (as Faisal calls them) animals. Thanks mom for coming with us and helping me with the kiddo's.The kids didn't really co-operate with this picture, but it is the only one of all of us.




The entire gang of kids and my cousin's husband Buddy, riding the rhino




Ana and the elephants

Posing with the ape statue...clearly Tae had issues with the nipples on the ape. LOL

Serious issues!!!


It was just too cute to not snap a picture of

Faisal yelling at the turkeys

Just had to get the picture of someone at the water fountain

How in the world did those two end up with bright blond hair?

I love the picture of the ape and Sienna ... so absolutely perfect. That's one you can torture her with for years!

I love Tae's face, it's the best, just shows her crazy fun personality. Looks like lots of fun. It's funny, I have seen several people's blogs about going to the zoo, I didn't even think about this time of year, but it looks perfect, good times.

It looks like you had a lot of fun....but I have to know was it really? I mean every time I go somewhere like that with all my kids I have to admit I'm a nervous wreck by the time it's over, especially if Colby isn't there with me.
