Wednesday we decided to take Emma, Alex and Sarah to the zoo for their birthdays. Alex turned 7 at the end of May, Emma turned 9 mid-June and Sarah turned 5 a couple days after Emma. We had missed their birthday parties so thought they might like Happy Meals and some time with Aunt Jamie and Uncle Justin. Emma wasn't feeling well after swimming lessons so we just took Alex and Sarah this time...Next month we're going to have to find some more time to take Emma and Timmy.
We were a little bummed we didn't get over there until early afternoon, because it was HOT and the animals weren't very active.
Alex cooled himself off when he found an elephant that squirted water.
Alex kept saying "I saw this when I came on the bus!" Apparently the zoo is part of a kindergarten field trip.
Sarah got tired about half way through and wanted to be carried...this is where Uncle Justin comes in! :)
We got to find out what a Zebra sounds like...it's a cross between a horse and a donkey (in my opinion!)
Sarah can't see the Tigers without sitting on the little tiger in front of their cage.
Despite the looks on their faces, they had fun, I swear!
After the zoo we were HOT so we stopped by TCBY on our way home for some ice cream. Yeah we like to solidify our spot as the "favorite" Aunt and Uncle whenever we can. ;)
