Monday, our family set out for a day at the zoo. We had been waiting for a cool, weekday when Jamie would be off. The timing was perfect for this adventure. Mathias asked when we would get to the zoo the entire trip. We had a detour because of an accident so it took longer than expected so we were all extra eager.
See any resemblance?
Everyone was excited to get inside the zoo and start seeing animals. Mathias ran from exhibit to exhibit yelling "More Animals!"
Analy really enjoyed looking at the animals as well. Here she is leaning out looking at the leopard.

Everyone enjoyed the carousel.
Even the Komodo dragons were friendly.
Mathias loved brushing the pygmy goats.
and swimming with the penguins.

Less than five minutes after we got in the car.
We got stuck in traffic from an accident on the way home as well. This time we were stuck on I-10 in the same spot for 2 hours. As you probably know, kids don't sleep in a parked car! So we cleaned all the snacks out of the diaper bag trying to keep them happy and calm. Finally, we made it to a Burger King. The kids loved their crowns and the toy was a stuffed giraffe, how appropriate.
We asked Mathias on the way home what were his favorite animals. His reply was "goats." We asked him what else he like and he said "mingos" as in flamingos.
The day turned out pretty long but we all had a great time. Praise God for allowing us to admire His creation and enjoy time with our family!
