Zoo Adventure!

Michael actually had the day off on Friday (1st day off in 11 days), so we all loaded up and went to the zoo! Michael said he couldn't believe he was out with all the "stroller moms", but he had fun explaining all the animals to Josiah. He and Katie have such a neat perspective on all the animals since they've actually seen them in the wild during their time in Kenya. I kept hearing them say "remember the ..." which was always followed by a story about Kenya. Things that we can only imagine or see on the Discovery Channel! Overall the morning at the zoo was a huge success! The boys were able to focus in on some of the animals, especially those at the Savannah exhibit (giraffes, ostrichs, zebras, etc). I think this is because there weren't a lot of trees or fencing to distract them. Eli especially loved the giraffes, which was my favorite part too!

Me, Eli, Josiah, and Michael. Eli started out in his stroller, but liked being in the carrier better because it gave him a better view! I think he liked watching the other kids at the zoo better than the animals!
Oooooooo! Zebras!
My favorite part: the baby giraffe!


Katie's favorite: the water lillies!

Michael's favorite: the alligators! They had this man-made sludge and the alligator was soooooooo creepy swimming through it! I got cold chills and even had to take a video so that I could show Jay! Ugh!
