Zoo 2012

Last weekend we took Brayden & Lilly (who really could have cared less) to the zoo!  Matt's parents, brother, and sister-in-law meet us there for a full day of fun.  The weather was perfect...upper 70s, low humidity, and a light breeze.  Because the weather was so nice, the animals were all out and pretty active too which was really nice!  We had a great time together!

Brayden and Nana looking at the lemurs...they were very active

Gorillas.  This was a gorilla family and the daddy was holding the tail of the baby to keep it from getting away.  Dana and I decided that kids need tails for a while too, to use as a leash.  It was so funny because the baby was running all over the place and the daddy kept a good, firm grip on its tail!

More gorillas

Crazy bird...dived across LOTS of people's heads and landed in this tree.  There were lots of signs that said this bird would bite as well.  Great!

BIG alligator

Sammy the Seal (we read that book a lot and Brayden thought it was cool to see Sammy in person)

Lilly chillin' with her glasses while riding in the Baby K'Tan carrier.  She finally passed out with me carrying her!
