Jacob is in that weird stage where he needs to be in his stroller because he's too little to walk all that distance and too heavy to hold the entire day. But, he's old enough that he wants to actually see and watch the animals, which can be difficult from his stroller. So, it was a day of in and out, in and out! We had so much fun seeing animals we've been reading about, especially the giraffes, elephants, tigers, and gorillas!
By lunch time, the weather was heating up (we were smart and arrived soon after the zoo opened at nine) and it was time for the drive home! Jacob and Levi fell asleep almost instantly, they were exhausted and frankly, so were we!!!
Cousins 1-6 (unfortunately, we were missing #4!)
Levi and Jacob enjoying the children's zoo from the comfort of their strollers!
I think Jake could have stayed on this butterfly seat for hours!
After seeing live gorillas, the boys got to hang out with the statues.
Watching one of the trainers with a chimp, they even got to help out!
The end of a long day, getting a ride from Poppa. I bet it was much cooler up there!
