"Mommy, it's zoo day, fun day"

That was the first thing Ethan told me when he got up this morning and again when we got in the car. It was a beautiful day for the zoo. We met Auntie Crissa and Macy not too long after opening. There were a lot of field trips today but they didn't really seem to get in our way.

Excited to see the dinosaurs

We started the day on the carousel before we made our way to the African Safari. We fed the giraffes and made sure to see the newest baby giraffe. He was adorable. We also took a peek at the elephants and cheetahs while we were over there.

"Macy, do you want to get in that water down there?"

After lunch inside we went over the see the dinosaurs that Ethan was so excited about. He told me what he thought about each of them. He assured me that none of them are real and they are dead. Thanks, buddy. 

"Dinosaurs say ROAR! and little dinosaurs say (whispering) roar."

Pointing to a large and small tricerotops, "That's the mommy dinosaur and that's the Ethan dinosaur"

Macy found a tortoise that we all had to run around

This is where Ethan couldn't stop and told her he was going to run into her. He did give her fair warning I guess.

These guys spit on you!

"Oh my gaws!"

"Oh my gosh, he smashed that mustang"

We also enjoyed riding the train. So much so that Macy didn't want to get off. Brady enjoyed a little bit of freedom out of his stroller jail. Please excuse his lack of pants. There was an accident. 

The rest of the trip we just enjoyed walking around and listening to Ethan and Macy telling us everything we needed to know. We also had some fun in the Children's zoo. Ethan had to ride home without a shirt. 

Such a fun day. We are looking forward to making use of our zoo pass this year! Ethan had a great day. He told me at bedtime tonight that his favorite part were the dinosaurs and lunch. That kid...
