Zoo Day

Chance has been so intrigued by our zoo animal books lately.  I decided that we needed to take a trip and visit the animals. 

I knew I would need some help though so I invited Ms. Barb (Chance and Savannah's day care provider) to come along.  Thank God she agreed to join us for the day.  I could not imagine what I would have done with out her. 

Chance was a wild man and LOVED seeing all of the animals. 

He pulled his little wagon around the entire zoo!

Both of the kids were great and so much fun to be around. 

We saw all kinds of animals...monkeys, giraffes, parrots, mountain goats, flamingos....

Chance's hands down favorite is still the elephant! He goes absolutely nutty when he sees them.  It causes contagious laughter from complete strangers at the zoo!

I higly recommend visiting the elephant exhibit to anyone with young children.  Chance could spend hours there. 

 

It was great to have Barb along for company and I felt like I got quality time with both Chance and Savannah. 

We would take turns showing Chance the animals and holding Savannah to feed her.  It was team work for sure!

I caught Barb breaking the rules during one of Savannah's feeding breaks.  She said she couldn't help it.  Chance NEEDED some little animals and she HAD to buy it for  him.  "He is deprived you know"...a direct quote from Ms. Barb about breaking the buying the kids whatever they ask for rule...

I think we all had a good day and both kids slept great after being out and about. 
That makes it all worth it!
