LA ZOO!

Grandpa and Stephanie and Phil joined us for Zoo Day. 

It almost didn't happen, and then in the last few minutes, we decided to just do it. :)

Bridget was so excited to hang out with Grandpa again!

Mason was ready to just run away.

Grandpa and Nathan took the kids into the reptile hut. After we grabbed churros from the churro factory.

They had FILLED churros!

We tried caramel and Bavarian cream.

The cream was my favorite.

Everyone else like the plain and the caramel.

There were several exhibits where the animals were out and eating and making all kinds of noises.

It was awesome.

The giraffes were so close. You could hear them tearing off leaves.

Mason had his eye on a girl and an ice cream cone.

The Koalas were so cute. This one was named Kylie!  Lucas immediately said Hey! I know a Kylie and Maddie! Which I am glad for because we are going to see them soon.

Love my men!

When we got to the Gorillas, we counted how many there were in the habitat. Or, App-it-at if you ask Bridget. We counted 8 and right when we witnessed something so gross.

To which all of the kids behind us in the ampitheater winced "eeeewwww"

Then, another gorilla did it. At the same time Nathan and I said, it must be pooping hour. Hahaha.

 Lucas enjoyed the Orangutans. Mostly because he didn't need to read about them since he just did a report on them at school. I teased him that it was because they could be related to us. :)

It started to get hot, so Lucas and Mason doubled up on strollers. Mason loved this!

 The otters were crazy. Here is a shot video.

 It was a lovely day for the zoo. The kids had a blast and we had ribs for dinner! YES!

The kids are going to be so sad when we leave.
