Last Saturday we decided to take the kiddos to the zoo for a much needed family day. Well, forgetting that it was the Saturday of Spring Break, the zoo was packed! We couldn't even find a parking spot and seriously thought we were going to have to make different plans. Lucky for us, Jeff found a perfect spot. At first we thought it was going to be a really long walk, but we ended up walking through Memorial Hermann Park on the way to the zoo and that (and the walk back) was the best part of our zoo day. The girls just ran through the park as we walked to the zoo, and we even got to feed the ducks. Now I'm not sure how much actual time was spent looking at animals. By the time several diapers were changed (and outfits since Landon leaked twice), lunch was eaten, snacks served, trips to the bathroom, and a baby nursed a couple of times, that didn't leave much time left! Nonetheless it was a gorgeous day and we just really enjoyed our day together. I think Landon had fun on his first trip to the zoo too!
So our first stop was eating our picnic lunch. We were trying for an earlier start but by the time we actually made it into the zoo it was lunch time.
Watching the gorillas. They love this part!
The rest of these were taken on our walk back to the car and we got to feed the ducks again.
After we had been feeding the ducks for awhile this little beaver type (I'm not sure it's real name) stuck his little head out of the water. This lady and her children next to us started feeding it and my girls jumped right in there to feed him too. Yes, my girls who are scared of ALL cats and dogs hand fed a wild animal bread! Haha!
This picture made me laugh. Avery scared me half to death the whole time we were feeding ducks. I knew at any moment she was about to run right into the pond!
Landon just hung out and was a happy boy!
Daddy and his girls (with his boy in the stroller! )
We ended our day at Pei Wei for dinner of course, and then some frozen yogurt. A fun family day indeed!
