The Zoo

Wills and I took our first trip to the zoo. We met Aunt Chrisy, Charity, Becca, and Kate and took a trip around to look at the lethargic animals. We met in the afternoon and about half way through I told Chrisy that there are two reasons not to go to the zoo in the afternoon, tired children and tired animals. The kids did have fun and it was neat to see all the different animals that we look at in books.


The sweet little group of explorers. Wills, Kate, Becca, and Charity. It was Becca's 4th birthday and so she got to pick something out in the gift shop. She chose this little monkey and called it birthday, but only for that day, she wanted to change the name the next day. She is so cute. Wills really enjoys spending time with his cousins. Riding the rocking giraffe that was on sale, only 112 dollars!!!!
Wills relaxing in his stroller sharing snacks with Kate. Wills was learning to share his stroller with his cousins. At moments he did well but the MINE!!!! came out several times.
I am trying to see you mom...
Assisted by Aunt Chrisy you can now see his cute little face.

Wills favorite attraction

Wills got really excited and started pointing at something while we were walking so I grabbed him and headed off to where he was pointing, thinking in my head that it was really neat he finally got really excited about seeing some animal. Turns out it was the John Deer mule that the Zoo workers were using to do maintenance and he wanted to take a ride:) Sorry buddy... These pictures aren't the vehicle he wanted in case you got confused.



Looking at the fish. If you look to the left you can see Becca taking a picture of the two of them.
Trying to climb onto the tiger that said "DO NOT CLIMB"
When our trip was all over we headed to McD's and had some ice cream for Becca's birthday. I think this was everyone's favorite part of the day.

Ahhhh!!!! My feed reader wasn't showing any updates on your blog! Had fun looking at them. :)
The pictures are so cute. I love the one of Wills playing with the packaging from your husband's computer. Our kids love that stuff! We always tease them and tell them we're buying them big empty boxes with bubble wrap for Christmas. :)
