the zoo

My sweet hubby took the day off the Friday before the Fourth to spend some time with the fam - he surprised us. I just love that guy!

So, we headed to the zoo! We had not been in soooo long. We thought our Bear might enjoy seeing the animals and knew that they all would like the splash pad. Looks like we were right - Fun was had by all!!! They got the biggest kick out of that monkey! He seemed to like them too... This mama enjoys a little sibling love....this moment about made me melt....(or, was it the 100 degree heat index?) If it stands still, he climbs it.... And, our favorite exhibit was the new elephant habitat - so very neat - my little guy now does an amazing elephant impression! A definite highlight was feeding the giraffes! I don't know who was more excited though...daddy or the kiddos!
To end our wonderful day at the zoo, we let the guys hit the splash pad to cool off. They were so hot and this was the perfect end to a GREAT day!
