Zoo Raincheck

This was our zoo raincheck date because when Bethany, Nathan and Samuel visited us over a year ago we were all sick all weekend! After 4 days in the house and no one throwing up for about 18 hours we decided to try to make it to the zoo. As we pulled into the parking lot, Samuel got sick so we did a u-turn and headed right back home. A year and a half later we were so thankful for a beautiful day and no sick babies!

It was our Dad's birthday the day of the zoo trip so we really tried to get a picture of all three kids that we could send to him for his birthday. It was easier said than done. We did call him and sing Happy Birthday, but I was sad our vision for a cousin picture didn't pan out.

JR wanted nothing to do with pictures. Cadie refused to take her alligator out of her shirt/baby bjorn.

I tried to jump in the picture to get JR to sit still, but it stil wasn't coming together. Oh well.

Sure! Now he is smiling!

We rode the carousel first thing upon arrival.

Then headed to the monorail where Samuel rode with Aunt Bethany

Cadence rode with Aunt Courtney.

And JR wanted to ride by himself, with his bus.

Then we headed to the wading river where the kids got soaked and had a great time.

Then since we hadn't gone down the slide enough at our own house, we did the slide at the zoo.

Gazing into the koy pond.

Jack Ranger attacked the goats.

And Cadence just wandered around holding her dress up because she was afraid the goats were going to eat it. Samuel played it chill.

We had about a million baths during the weekend.

And Samuel ran out of clean jammies so was looking mighty fine in a borrowed pair of Cadie's.

I am not sure how many animals we saw at the zoo, but we sure did have a good time.
