The Zoo

I wanted to take Edin to the zoo for this birthday. I had to hurry and go before he turned three and I had to pay for him. So we went the day before. I invited James' sisters. Becky came with Kate and Annie's daughter Taylor. We had a really fun day. The weather was perfect. Edin loved having Taylor there. They had a blast together. I'm having a hard time getting the captions to line up with the pictures so I'm going to stop trying. Here's a few tid-bits. There were some GIANT turtles. My kids were scared of the giant elephant we took our picture by. Edin and Taylor both got elephant cups you can by filled with soda. By the end of the day Lizzie was so burned out.

The zoo had so many baby animals; an elephant, giraffe, tiger cubs, zebra, some kind of monkey, and more! Enjoy the pictures. There's a lot.


This is what Edin was like when we got to the zoo. He didn't want to get out of the stroller. He just sat there.










The baby elephant was so dang cute. He started playing with this ball. It was rad. This is not her taking a poopy on the ball.

Why are little things so darn cute!? :) (And, the baby elephant was incredibly cute, too.)

I have a story for you: Last time we went to the Hogle Zoo, (I was pregnant with Kallie), and we went to see the huge turtles. When we got there, we could hear LOUD strange noises coming from somewhere in their pen. We moved through the people to find that one of the turtles was stacked on the other and they were making the noises. I was really glad I didn't have to field any of the "Mommy, what are those turtles doing?" questions. I don't know if any baby turtles came out of that experience--but it was kind of funny! LOL

It looks like the weather was perfect--for some reason I always go on the hottest day of the year! I kind of wish Dash would just want to stay in the stroller. Your kids are so dang cute!
