We planned a fall zoo trip with Dynna and her family and Grandma and Grandpa. As it turned out, Ryan and Aaron had opposite schedules, so instead of going to the zoo together, we had to plan to go to the zoo on the same day and overlap for a couple of hours.
It was kind of a bummer trip because we missed a bunch of animals we wanted to see. The zebras and ostriches were in the barn for the day. The otters were nowhere to be seen. So we were disappointed in the animal department. But it was wonderful weather and we enjoyed riding the carousel and the train with the rest of the group.
The kids were super excited about the rhinos. I didn't know they liked rhinos so much!
The seals put on a good show for anyone who would watch. They were fun.
One highlight of the trip was the carousel. We had purchased 4 tickets, so the kids each got to go twice. Zeke was so excited to ride the zebra.
And Nora rode the ladybug. It was so dang cute.
The kids also loved loved loved the little play area. Nora could have slid down the lighthouse all day long.
The other highlight was the zoo train. Nora could have done that all day too.
Fun day? Yes. Love our cousins? Yes. But maybe next time we'll just plan to go for a walk and play in the park. . . . .
