Como Zoo

Last Friday, Mike and I both had the day off, so we decided to take the boys to the zoo.  I had been wanting to get Kayden there this summer, because he LOVES animals and is at the perfect age to enjoy these kinds of things. 

So, we got the boys ready and were out of the house by 9:00 am, and got to the zoo just as it was opening at 10:00.  This was perfect!  We had no trouble finding parking, and headed right in.  The weather was awesome!  We took the double stroller for the two little boys, and Kayden walked.  Let me tell you, he was in HEAVEN!  He could have stood and looked through those glass windows at the gorillas, and bears ALL DAY LONG! 

We saw all of the animals up close, took in a Sparky the Sea Lion show, had lunch, and were back in the truck to head home by about 1:00.  There was enough to do, that we could have spent a lot more time there, but Mike needed to get home to meet my brothers to head to the cabin, and the timing was actually perfect since the boys were getting tired and a little cranky by that time anyway. 

Looking at the fish

Probably telling Tyler some random fact about the fish

Sitting on the big turtle.  This is probably one of the best pictures I have of all three of them together!

The giraffe!  Tyler's favorite!!!!

Kayden said he expected the giraffes to be much taller than the actually are

Good ole' Sparky!
