Spring Break Zoo Field Trip

Can it really be possible that Logan's kindergarten year is almost over??? That seems crazy to me. I hope the years don't all pass this quickly - you guys are growing up too fast.
.
Last week was spring break, and after pulling our hair out all week, our neighbor Amy and I decided that Friday would be the perfect day to get out and about with the whole crew of kids. It actually did turn out to be the perfect zoo day - it was a bit chilly and cloudy in the morning, but all that meant was that we had the whole zoo practically to ourselves! It was nice not having to sift through a massive crush of people - and it made it much easier for us to keep our eyes on all six kids! We enlisted Grammy's help for this one.

I have no idea what these guys are....pelicans?
Logan and this penguin were eyeballing each other.

Puffins!




Would any zoo trip be complete without a ride on the carousel? Of course not. And since we didn't have to wait in a line, it was that much better! Logan got his pick of animals, so of course he chose a tiger! Too bad there's not a sabertooth somewhere on that ride.




Claire got a black rhino.



50 degrees and the sea lions are swimming around! I hope the pool is heated...

This tiger was sunning himself. It was nice as long as you were in the sun!



Here's our brand new baby camel with his family - awwww.


Our neighbor Nathan, isn't he a cutie?

I think Grammy took about 12 shots like this - Claire just looks stunned.


Finally! There's a smile....kind of.


Claire on the train - this picture sounds like this: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Our Asian elephant family

And, of course....would any zoo trip be complete without the requisite Logan-as-a-sabertooth-tiger picture?

Inside the cave the boys had fun climbing all around. Here are our neighbor Jacob and Logan goofing around among the stalagmites! Jacob and Logan are in the same kindergarten class.

Nathan can't resist a good climb either!


We had a great day! I hope you guys never outgrow the zoo!
