A day at the Zoo (5-15)

What a PERFECT day for the zoo!! We got a late start(typical) but still had plenty of time to enjoy all that the Zoo had to offer. We had told Lawrence on Friday night that we were going to see the animals...he was VERY excited! We have been to the zoo a few times with him but this time you can tell he had WAY more fun. Every one was in a fantastic mood with minimal break downs! YAY!! You could also tell Isabelle really enjoyed herself!! She would reach out for the animals she would see, especially the monkey's

Bald Eagles

Isabelle checking them out

Lawrence checking out the monkey's...they were pretty lazy when we first got there but seemed to liven up before we left, so we watched them a while longer just before going home.

Lawrence checking out what he called "big guy"

My big helper, helping mommy by pushing the wagon...that way we also knew where he was.

Lawrence checking out the "fishies"

Isabelle LOVING the lions

Isabelle is still very much into them!

Lawrence playing the drums...we did this for a while.

Isabelle clapping...maybe for the flamingos??

Both kiddos checking the flamingos out...

One of Lawrence's favorite things!! the wooden "choo choo" he had SO much fun running around and playing on the the train, making train noises and saying "All Aboard"

He LOVES the caboose!!

LOVE Isabelle's face here!

Checking out the "deer" I had to explain several times that it was indeed a goat :)

Playing in the water fall

Checking out the monkeys just before going home

I put Lawrence to bed this night(usually daddy does) he makes you "sleep" in his bed while he uses you as a road to drive his car on...anyway while he was doing this he was telling someone(not sure if he was telling me, his car or just himself) all about his day at the zoo. All about the animals, monkeys and of course the choo choo!! What a great day we had!! LOVE family time!
