Trip to the Zoo

This last week we went to the zoo. I took the kids all by myself and met Toni and my mom there. We went to Toni's house and then rode the Max to the zoo. That was an adventure. It was 2$ Tuesday so the zoo was "a zoo." We had a great time. Toni took the older kids and that was great because the babies were a little slower looking at all the animals. That is why I don't have many pictures of Charlie and Katie. They all had a blast and asked when we could go back. The zoo is definitely one of our favorite places to visit! I thought I capture a rare moment.

Audrey was concerned about the Cougars sleeping right next to

her on the other side of the glass.

Katie petting the goats. We stood in line forever to do this and by the time we got in the fence we all knew the rules by heart. No running, Don't pet the goats head, no loose clothing or paper, wash your hands when you leave!

the same age at the Portland zoo. I'll have to find it and post it.

Sydney was very upset when it was time to go home, she had gotten a map of the zoo and was trying to tell us all the animals that we didn't see. My mom said we'd better take that map away from her before she gets too upset. We just had to assure her that we would come back soon.
