The Zoo



We had such a fun trip to the zoo with some very good friends recently. My friend, Kristen and I, decided to load our kids up and take them to a zoo that is about an hour away. The kids really enjoyed it. Rush and Fran's friend, Avery, is such a sweet, sweet girl. My two just love her! We got there as soon as it opened that morning, and it was a wonderfully overcast day. Normally, overcast/nearly rainy day for a zoo visit would seem like a bad thing. Just live anywhere in the south in the summer to know that a cloudy day is quite the treat! Was it hot? YES, OH YES!! But, it could have been worse! We packed a picnic lunch and took it with us. The kids lasted a long time. We got there at 9:00 and didn't leave until around 2:00. No one even got a little bit cranky! :-) We will definitely go again sometime soon.

Rush, Frannie, and Avery dancing on the stage at the pavillion where we had our lunch... this was one of their favorite things all day. Kids are so funny!

They were doing this before we ever left the zoo parking lot. :-) A good kind of tired...
