A day at the zoo


With the weather cooling down we can finally regain our composer( I'm Melting!!!!!).....

Dustin and I decided to take the boys to the Zoo. what a wonderful day. It was warm the wind was blowing in the trees.... we started off on the train, Mason was so excited as we pulled away from the station, he was clapping and bobbing and dancing around. It was really cool to learn about the animals and their needs. Then Logan saw this neat bike. Two seater pedal bike with a kid seat in the front, before we even got off the train he was saying "I wanna go on that!!!!"


so, we rode through the Zoo on this bike contraption, taking pictures and laughing. we had some lunch and played in the park. Then, we went to the Giraffe enclosure. what beautiful creatures, one came up to me put her nose up and let me touch her face!!!! It was incredible. A real moment!!! it is just the most amazing feeling when you have that brief connection to something so close to nature, I was moved.


We finished off our day with a Lion feeding which Dustin told Logan and all the other kids that "this is the part where the feed the lions all the bad kids from earlier in the day!!!!" Logan didn't think that was too funny at all. We checked out the Macaws and parrots. Logan got a piggy back ride to the car and Mason fell asleep in the stroller. what a way to spend a day with your family :)
