Three amigos at the zoo.

To kick start our cousin fun week off we loaded up the kids in the car and headed to the zoo. Despite the high temperatures everyone really enjoyed themselves.

We fed the ducks…

and the birdies.

Made friends with a few goats…

and chatted with the parrots.

Took turns pushing the stroller.

and had a little ice cream break to cool off.

Funniest part of the day would have to be hearing Emerson yell to these guys, “Hi cow…MOOO!!!”

We even went back to see the snakes and penguins twice. Yeah for air conditioned exhibits!!!

Beatiful Weather + Brandon's Day Off

= Fun day at the ZOO!

Friday Brandon's boss told him not to worry about coming in to the office. That day we were enjoying a nice cold front that allowed us to open the windows and give our a/c a much needed break. Trying to decide what we should do, Donaven piped up and suggested the zoo. Brandon and I met eyes, why not I suggested, it'll be fun. It was settled and we were off.

Emerson was so fun to watch exploring the zoo for the first time using his new walking skills.



The boys really enjoyed feeding the birds...

until this huge white Macaw starting squawking really loudly making all the birds swarm around us. We decided it was time to check out the other animals at that point.






The most loved exhibit of all was definitely the penguins. We probably watched them eating, and playing for about 30 mins.









Then the camera died but you get the idea. We hope the fall weather is here to stay and really enjoyed welcoming it together as a family out having fun!
