1st Trip to the Zoo!

Unfortunately the weather while Ryan was on vacation was rainy. Luckily we had one nice day. Friday we took the kids to the zoo for the first time. We took the girls' wagon, loaded a diaper bag with the essentials and we were off! The kids had a good time and behaved really well! Especially the girls. We were there for about 2 hours, and were there past their feeding time. They didn't fuss at all. They just sat in the wagon and looked all around. It was nice to get some fresh air and a change of scenery. Zac pulled the girls in their wagon for a bit. Then he decided he didn't want to walk any more and wanted Daddy to give him a piggy-back ride, "Zac carry" as he says it. Little did Ryan know, it would be for the majority of the trip. His neck and shoulders were sore from lugging a 30 pound boy around! Luckily when we got there, kids were loading on several buses to go back to school. We didn't get there until early afternoon. I had to work the night before, had to get everyone ready, and managed to get the girls to lay down for a cat nap. It's crazy how big and exciting the zoo is when you're a kid. Going back as an adult, I got to see it through the eyes of my kids. It was more fun watching their reactions.
