It's A Zoo Out There....

Wednesday was a beautiful day! We headed to the zoo. It was Miss K's first trip to meet the animals. We practiced her zoo animals sounds for a couple of days prior to the trip. We had a great time. I don't know what was more entertaining the animals or watching Kenyon's reaction. We finally gave in and let her out of the stroller, or "ro ro" as she calls it. She ran and ran and ran. Which means we ran and ran and ran.


Kenyon's favorites among many was the monkey's she kept pointing and saying "monkey" and then making the HOOHOO WHOOWHOO sound of a monkey. As we were leaving the monkey house she wanted "mo mo monkey"



We visited the parakeet house and fed the birds. Of all of the birds flying around the one that Kenyon and I wound up with had some kind of crusty eye disease or something. Hank, on the other hand, got to see a cockatil doing it with a parakeet. I kept waiting for the bow chicka chick a bowbow music to start playing. We didn't get a picture. And if we did I wouldn't post it. This is a family blog after all. Okay well yes I would have. It would be just too funny to not post.
Although Sara had been to the zoo several times and attended camp there last year she had fun too. She really wasn't bored in this picture, I just caught her mid-yawn. Or so that's what she said. We are approaching the stage where your parents just aren't cool anymore.





Other favorites at the zoo were the white tiger and the "tur-tils" (turtles) As you can see Kenyon was talking to the turtle. She kept calling him Tuck from Wonder Pets.





Being Spring love was definitely in the air, besides the parakeet love fest going on we did manage to see some lizard love.

All in all a good day was had by all. The adults decided four hours at the zoo was just enough time to get totally exhausted!
