We're going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

My friend Julie invited us to go to the Zoo with her and her 2 girls, along with Maddie and her 2 kids. It was so much fun! A beautiful day and the kids had a blast! Above is me and the kids at the Petting Zoo. Kaylin was very sweet brushing all the goats, Ethan would touch them with her brush, but I have no idea if they were ever satisfied with a good brushing from him. Mika wanted to get down so bad and crawl all over them! She was so excited to be out of her stroller. She was content earlier in the day, took a nap, but when she woke up she was ready to play! The pic below is Mika free!
Me and my friend Maddie. We drove up together and had so much fun! Didn't even get lost! ;)
Me and my girlies on the train. Mika was very nervous the whole time, while Kaylin waved to everyone in sight!
Garrett, Emily, Ethan and Kaylin.
Ethan on the carousel. He was on a blue panda as he calls it. He was so happy and giggly when it started, but then after a while yelled, "faster, faster!"
Kaylin being a baby bird in the lemar/bird house.
Kaylin sitting on a giraffe head statue. There were 3 giraffe's that came so close to us. The kids were on the fence, with shallow water between them and the giraffe's. One of them wanted a drink and almost assumed the position, but looked at the kids and decided otherwise. They were so pretty up close!!! But Kaylin loves the Zebras the most.
Ethan again on the carousel, sorry I couldn't get this picture in order...
2 cute kiddos ready for our adventure! They had so much fun!
Ethan's top must sees: 1. Gorillas (which we watched 2 babies wrestle and the greyback picking his bum and rubbing his hands together at which Kaylin pulled a face and looked at me questioningly. 2. The train. 3. Tigers. (sadly the tigers weren't out)
Kaylin's must sees: 1. Zebras. I forgot how short and stocky they are! 2. Cotton Candy (by the time we got to a place, they were all sold out. Whoops!) 3. Pandas. They had a baby panda that was sleeping. I wanted to unclude the animal pictures too, but the kids were cuter, so it was vetoed!

How fun! When my kids were little, we had a membership to the zoo. It was so much fun. We went up there every chance we got. They're too old for that now, apparently. They're no fun :c(
