Zoo fun on Columbus Day

We were out of school Monday so I took the boys to the zoo (along with about a million other people). We literally had to drive around for 30 minutes just to find a parking spot! I finally won on the "war of the blinkers" and was able to snag a space from a family that was leaving.

The weather was beautiful and we spent several hours there looking at the animals. We even toured the Dinosaur exhibit and the boys got a kick out of that. The dinosaurs were animated and even roared or spit water in addition to moving. The boys enjoyed roaring back at the dinosaurs.




#3 was cracking me up because almost everywhere we walked, he declared, "It Stinks!" and hold his nose while walking around.

See who is holding his nose again while perched on the fence...

I was so proud of the way the boys acted and no one wandered off. This was the first time I had taken them to the zoo by myself and the first time without a stroller or wagon to corral them. We will be back soon (and preferably arrive early to get a parking spot without as much hassle)!
