Day 51: The Zoo

Our lives are full, fun, and wonderful.Today was another great day full of adventure.

If you've read my story of Sabrina's infancy (here) and (here), you can see that we love going to the zoo as a family, and think it's a great place to take Baby. Well, it took us a while, but we finally got there today.

Yes, we had the kids skip school today. We're those awesome parents. Jen spearheaded the morning, as I was pretty muzzy from last night's trying-to-do-too-much-in-one-day.

Once at the zoo, Betty was my bjornling nearly all the time. We had good fun and good snuggles.

There were lots of fun animals both real and imaginary.

We hada fantastic time. We've been to the zoo enough with these kids that they were pretty chill. We got to visit the animals we really wanted to visit, we didn't feel disappointed if certain animals weren't out, or we missed them. We spent an extra long time with our favorite-- the crocodiles. We also spent some time with the Naked Mole Rats while Jen fed Betty.

and got some cute smiles.

We had fun.

..and of course, I had to visit this display in the Lion habitat.

I'm not lazy. I'm an apex predator!

Great day.

After coming home, downing a whole huge bottle of Mountain Dew to try to keep from keeling over on the road, Edgar and I set up downstairs and had some EPIC pokemon battles between his Game Boy pokemon and my Game Cube pokemon.

We had yummy homemade dinner, and a nice little party at the FroYo place downtown for Sabrina's soccer team. The kids created some pretty weird Frozen Yogurt concoctions.

Then, it was home, a few more epic pokemon battles, and time to put the kids to bed. What a fun day.
