A Day at the Zoo

A friend of mine (Amanda) went to the Miami Zoo on New Years Day with her family and kept her ticket stubs. One of the deals they have is if you come back with your ticket stub within 5 days admission is only $5 so I used Jon's ticket and got in for $5 (both kids are free!). We left this morning at 9:15 (our goal was 9 but with all the sleeping issues in our house last night we did pretty good). Courtney also came with her 2 kids so it was 3 Moms and 6 kids in all! Johns big joke is we should get a church bus for our day trips since we each have to bring our own car everywhere!

The gang (from left to right): Taylor, Lauren, Nathan, Alex, Michael, Hudson.

This is how kids in south FL make snow angels... in the rock pile for digging fossils! Lauren's too girly to put her head down in the rocks!

Enjoying a lollipop while his big sister is in line to ride the camel!

There she is! I was SHOCKED she actually got on.

Not only did she get on but she LOVED every second of it and asked to go again (she was told she could do it next time we come)

Lunch time (I packed grilled cheese and grapes- the kids favorites!)

Enjoying his grapes.

Lauren loves Nathan

Feeding the giraffe- another big surprise for me.

Look at that tongue!

This is what you do when your 2 year old is tired and you forgot the double stroller at home!

Michael was sound asleep before we were even out of the parking lot! Lauren on the other hand who I thought would surely pass out after being up half the night last night stayed awake until 2 minutes from home and ofcourse woke up right when I went to bring her inside.
