ZOO Adventure

It's always an adventure going to the zoo with children, right? What I thought was going to be a couple of hours turned into a five hour ordeal (including driving time). Luckily, Grandma was there to help push an extra stroller and help me keep track of three kids. Daddy was at Youth Conference so he missed the fun.

We decided to go because it was going to be one of the cooler days of the week; the high was only 90 instead of 99.

We had a lot of fun. Gavin cracked me up the whole time. He was obsessed with squishing a piece of cotton that floated down from a tree; he kept chasing a meerkat through the glass- back and forth he went for a couple of minutes while hysterically laughing; and of course he always pointed out the droppings of each animal in the cages. Jackson had a great time too; however, he was a little sad when he realized he was the only child without a stroller (it's tough growing up). So when he fell onto the concrete and skidded up his knee and elbow pretty bad we put him in the stroller and he milked that injury for a long time, while enjoying the ride.
