Day at the Zoo

Today the kids and I took a trip to the zoo with some friends. It was a beautiful day, luckily we got there early because it started getting really hot about the time that we left. The kids love the zoo because there is so much to see and so much space to run around in. It's funny though because out of all the things they would probably list as there favorite things about the zoo I'm not sure a single animal would make the list. They liked running up and down the ramps, playing in the decommissioned helicopter/truck, digging in the dinosaur fossil dirt etc.   It's interesting to watch Audrey who is not even 2- she doesn't hang out with the babies- she goes right for the kids Ryan's age especially if they are boys (I am in trouble!). I remember going to the zoo when she was a little tiny baby (3 or 4 months) where she slept the whole time- now she is running around like the hyper toddler she is!
