A Day at the Zoo

The boys and I decided to go to the zoo today. We've been waiting for a Tuesday because it is half price day! We had a blast, but I think we chose the hottest day of the year so far. That didn't stop us though. We trekked all over that zoo. I think Aiden's favorite place was the beautiful butterfly house. Ryan tried so hard to sit still for the butterflies to land on him, but they never did. They kept landing on Aiden. The zoo keeper said that if one landed on you, you could make a wish. I think Ryan was wishing for a toy from the gift shop. Ryan's favorite exhibit was the reptiles! We just got through reading a book about snakes so it was exciting to see the ones in his book. The sea lion show was a blast, but it was hard holding Aiden and trying to take pictures (see the one where he is picking my nose.) We took a picnic lunch and the peacocks and guineas were roaming right up to the tables. After staying 5 hours, and using lots of sun block, we almost finished the whole zoo, but we had to skip a little. Oh well, we will just have to go back when Daddy's not at work! Lots of fun, but I'm thanking God for our air conditioner right now!
