A Day At The Zoo

Last Wednesday night I got a message from Jenn asking if I wanted to join her and Liam for a day at the zoo...I was watching Colton and Tayler the next day so we all went.

Here are the 3 loaded up and ready to walk to the zoo entrance. Colton and Jenn wanted to go and see the giraffes first. They both say they are their favorites.

Couldn't get Colton to turn around for a picture but still had to capture him with his favorite animal.

Liam with the elephants. Liam is into clapping these days so he was clapping his hands at the animals.
And Miss Tayler who is just the sweetest busy bee there ever was.

And Tayler again...enjoying the ride ...you had to keep moving or she wanted out...and she loved eating the little puff snacks too.

Liam...always a ham in front of the camera...something he gets from his mommy.

Colton loved looking at the birds...the one in cages and the ones that were just around the zoo...he would chase them when they would land to eat crumbs from the ground...so when we saw this bird he was willing to have his picture taken from the front side and not the back side.

All the kids seemed to like the flamingos, I think we stayed and watched them the longest.

It was a warm day at the zoo...the actual temperature wasn't so bad but the humidity was awful, like a sauna...guess I know how the summer is gonna be.

Once we were done with the zoo we headed to the vehicles to put strollers up and walk over to the train and take a train ride around Hermann Park. Colton can make the cutest train sound.

The kids loved the ride but Miss Tayler couldn't sit still for anything.

Then we got the kids in the cars and left...Tayler past out right away though she only slept for 20 minutes...waking up before we ever made it home.

Colton was tired but wanted to watch a movie so what Colton wants Colton gets...he was a happy camper.

Before heading home we went to pick up Bailey...he had been at Day Camp all day...after all he needed a fun day too.

Once home I finished watching the kids until Tammy was done with school...needless to say this Grams was tired. So, Tammy came and got Tayler and Colton stayed to spend the night.

After getting our showers done and eating dinner we were both tired.

I wanted to watch The Housewives of New York City so Colton and I laid in my bed...I watched my show and he watched a DVD on my computer with head phones.

He thought that was the coolest thing.

After our shows we called it a night but Bailey passed out first. Apparently he had too much play at Day Camp.
