Going Wild

We really did go wild this morning with a trip to the zoo! Jack's school and Graham's MDO were having fall break so we wanted to enjoy our special day together and have fun. We met up with Jack's "goodest friend," Austin and his sweet little girlfriend, Lydia, along with all the younger siblings. We were quite a crew and I really think you could have called the place a zoo just by having 10 of us in there!

Jack and Austin most enjoyed "the cave," which is the part of the children's zoo that looks like, well, a cave. It has a big slide and places to climb up and down so they burned lots of energy there.

Graham's favorite part was "DONKEYS!!!!" which were actually goats, but no matter how many times I reminded him of that, he still insisted that they were donkeys. And he squealed with delight as he ran amongst them, petting them and attempting to feed them hay.



Steven and Michael seemed to enjoy the playground the most, and it seemed that the most fun activity of all was to simply run back and forth the big play toy!

Lydia really liked seeing the baby tiger cubs, which I also thought were super cute. She kept wondering why the mommy tiger was hiding.

I think Sophia's favorite part of the day was riding in my car on the way to lunch. Jack wanted to ride with Austin so we switched and she was fascinated with his sunglasses and Sally.

All in all, such a fun day! Beautiful weather and good friends; can't beat that!
