Zoo

Gavin and I got to go to the zoo last Thursday with Kim and her niece and nephews. We had never been in the kid area before. Gavin loved it!
(And p.s.--notice he's wearing shoes! Woohoo!)

And of course wanted to put everything in his mouth. I did find out that they wash everything every night!

Shoveling horse poop in the barn. Hilarious!

I was in charge of bringing a snack, so I got all of us a box of the yummiest Animal Crackers! I haven't had these since I was a kid. The kids were pulling out the animals and talking about the ones we'd already seen. So cute.

And I brought zoo books to read while we snacked. Kim and I are such teachers!!

We went to the bird show to finish up snack.

And Jake got called up as a volunteer!

With 4 kiddos to watch, there's just no time to take pictures! So we spent all day at the zoo, and do I have 1 picture of an animal? No! Well, Gavin, I guess we'll have to go back! :)
Gavin fell asleep before we got to the end with the Carousel (which we did ride, but he was fast asleep the whole time) and the petting zoo and play area. Looks like we'll have to start at the petting zoo next time!
Thanks for inviting us, Kim! It was so fun!
