Zoo Day

Yesterday, the kids and I decided we would go to the zoo today for family day. I am not a big fan of the zoo and neither is Tyler. On many occasions he stopped and said, "Mommy, I smell something." I would chuckle to myself every time and you would have too if you could have seen the expression on his face.


We made sure to put on our sunscreen before walking around. NyCee declared, "It's hot. I need some water." (I had their water containers and snacks in my backpack.) I made sure we all stayed hydrated as to not get thirsty.

As we walked around, their favorite exhibit was the Orangutan's lair. The kids were fascinated with the play area constructed for the animals. At one point, they both walked around on their kunckles and knees like an Orangutan.

Our last stop was to view the zebras. We did not cover half the zoo as the kids were getting tired of walking. As I took a picture of them, I remembered my phone as the ability to reverse the camera. (Thank God for the iPhone 4.) So I was able to include myself in a picture. How fun was that, huh?

Although she said she was tired, NyCee did not go to sleep on the ride home. She listed to her Cat in the Hat book from leapfrog. Tyler on the otherhand was knocked up by the time we left the parking lot.
