Zoo Trip!

One day last week we took the kids to the zoo. It was insanely perfect out. It was cloudy and drizzled a few times but was not humid at all. It was low 70’s and felt amazing. We had so much fun. It wasn’t crowded either being a weekday and we had so much of it to ourselves. Aikman was free to run and play and he even got to feed the giraffes. He has done it before but there just always happens to be about 10 other kids around trying to feed too so it is not as personal. This time it was just him. The giraffe’s tongue touched his hand and he laughed so hard. We has such a great time. Pippa loved the big spider monkeys. One came and sat right on the glass ledge and stared at her and she was just hysterical. It even followed her hand on the glass which was so neat to her. I guess too with the temp being so nice all the animals were out. The tiger was laying out on its little house and the bear was up walking around and even stood up on the fence line. That thing was huge! It was such a nice day and when it was time to leave we stopped in the Zoo Store. Aikman looked around and just had to have these plastic animals. They were similar to the ones Horns sent him in a package (which he absolutely adores) but these were endangered animals. I can’t tell you how many times I find a rhino under the edge of the couch or step on a giraffe walking through the kitchen. He loves them all and couldn’t wait to “combine” both collections at home. What a great day. (Insert the Fresh Beat Band’s song) Lol. 

How cute are they?

How cute are we? Lol. 

Feeding...

They were moving their hands....

Look at the jaguar! I called it a leopard and Monks told me no momma, it's a cheetah. Lol. 

My little safari boy. His animals are in that green bag.
