Once again, for the umpteenth time this winter season, it has been cold. Very cold. The kind of open-the-door-smack-in-your-face kinda cold. Do you know what I mean? Again the kids have been a little stir crazy. So much so that today (thankfully a little bit warmer) Bree and Jenna stood at the door of the mud room crying and banging on it to go outside. They needed out. Point taken. So...out we went. We packed up the entire crew and headed out for an afternoon at the zoo!
Such a good decision. Not only was it not busy, we got to meet the 4 day old (yes, only 4 days) baby giraffe. A little boy, weighing in at 185 pounds and just a little over 7 feet tall. How cute is he?
Always eager to learn, Aidan and Maelle get a lesson on the life of a hippo. Love the zoo's interpretive programs. Love that these kids like to get involved and take part.
In love with the fish!
Despite the weather being a tad on the chilly side, it was nice to have a good wander around the zoo this afternoon. Jenna chased a peacock, Bree yelled at the elephants, and they both pounded their chests like the gorillas. They never tired, but just kept going and going, full of giggles and copious amounts of animal like energy. Perhaps we need to follow Bree and Jenna's cues more often. Seems as though they new it would be a good day to visit the zoo.
