We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

One of the joy of big-city-life... zoos and museums. I had mentioned the zoo to Meg several weeks before and didn't want to be one of those don't-follow-through Mommies.. so off we went!
I guess it was the first pretty day in a while because it was crazy crowded. One of the requests was to see the alligator.. definitely enjoyed the more popular elephants and giraffes. Same as most kids I think. And reptile house was at the beginning... and we had to look at every exhibit. I don't know why we bring the stroller... they want to walk or be carried.
Took some convincing.. but then wanted to go through the tunnel.
Out! Let's see the elephants.



Coop is a lot happier out of the stroller...
Trying to see the chimps. Meg tried to look - hard to see when you close the eye in the telescope and open the other. Kind of a hard concept I'm sure.
It was nearing lunch time and we were getting fussy. Seems once you bring out the snacks, it's all they want. Petting zoo had brushes... "buhsh?"... Not super excited but brief enjoyment...

Off to play! How do you do this with more than two kids when you outnumber the parents... how do you keep track?


Mommy's happy because Daddy snuck off to get me Dippin' Dots. Didn't want to share with those greedy little kids! :) But Coop was a big fan!!
And he's off... Coop that is. Running free!


And we're ready to eat our lunch picnic at the fountain. So tired.

when you are outnumbered, you constantly do a head count and you feel like your brain is completely frazzled by the end...not to mention being physically exhausted. Oh, and occasionally you loose one or two. ;-) But it's all worth it in the end!
