To the Zoo we go!

The highlights from our winter trip to the zoo:

I always love a trip to the zoo. The day we went was the free winter day, and the weather was better than expected, cold but not freezing. It was the first time we’d really had a big adventure since Lorelei was born. For me a pretty significant milestone getting everything we needed, and getting there.

Lorelei spent the entire time bundled up in her carseat/stroller and slept the whole time!

The double stroller was nice as Elliot was able to walk when he wanted to, and ride when he was tired.

Toph was able to leave work a few minutes early, and we had a fun family adventure together. I love watching him as a father, interacting with our children when we’re out and about.

The animals were incredibly active, more so than I’d seen them before.

It was a great time of year to go to the zoo, and I think we’ll try to make a tradition of coming on this day.

A fun shot on the sculpture, love these boys.

We weren’t sure if we’d be able to see everything as the zoo was closing earlier than usual, so we decided to tle the boys choose their favorites, to make sure we saw the ‘important’ things:
Tuckers favorite–the tigers


Elliots favorite–the giraffe

Trumans favorite–the reptile house

And a must for me? My favorite tradition on visiting the zoo: The monkey shot

And I don’t think we’ll ever get one where the kids match up so perfectly in size again!

Ending with a ‘almost’ family portrait on the elephant (Lorelei was in the stroller to the left of us )

A great day at the zoo.
