Zoo Day

 We had Weds. at home with my parents before leaving the next day. My kind parents knew that I would want to go to the zoo, too, so they waited until I was back before taking the girls. My mom bought each of the girls new zoo outfits. Analise wore a tiger shirt, Maisie had a monkey shirt, and Sadie was a giraffe. Thanks again mom!


 We made our annual 11:00 sea lion show. At the end the sea lions were swimming right in front of the girls.
The male lion sure is big when you get right next to it!

Do you see one giraffe or two?
Thanks to some spending money we were given (from Brandon's boss and a generous aunt) the girls got to do some some extra things. One of those was my favorite - feeding the giraffes!

 Check out that tongue!
 They rode the log ride around Australia.

 The zoo is not complete without a train ride with Pops!
Maisie has always loved feeding the goats.

Maisie must taste yummy. She handled this a whole lot better than Analise would have at this age.
After the zoo we went home for a short rest, and then we went to Kohl's, dinner at Pizza Hut, and then Dick's. It sure is a whole lot easier shopping with the extra help!
Thursday morning we were on the road about 8:30. We are so grateful that the girls are good travelers. We arrived home around 9:30. Amazing!
