Zoo Crew

Russell called home today at 4pm and said get the kids in the car I'll be home in a minute-let's go to the zoo! The zoo doors close at 5pm. I wasn't sure if we would make it, but I thought okay let's do it. So we rounded up the kids-plus our two fun cousins Kyler and Paige and jumped in the car. We got to the zoo at 5:20pm-I ran up to the gates as they were closing everything and said that we had just gotten there from Orem and that we had a pass and would they please let us in-and the nice man said okay! So we got to party at the zoo until 7pm (even though they said the grounds close at 6:30 nobody kicked us out) and it was awesome because there was hardly anybody there and the weather was perfect!

Hey, great idea everyone pose on the tigers and smile! Hmmm...

Here are Eliza and Paige off to see the giraffes. Cute girls.



Rhino wedgie as Aiden properly named it.


Hey, here is another great idea everybody pose by the rhino and smile! Hmmmm..



I am glad that the tiger was asleep! I would not want to be around when he lifts his tail!




Jack loved the zoo! He loved looking at the animals and running wild. I am glad that it wasn't crowed at all so he could. He was funny. And his new little flip flops are funny, too!






Okay one more try with the posing for a picture. This one turned out pretty good. I like the boys with their arm around their sister. I wish Eliza's eyes were open, but that's alright because they did all stand still for half a second. :)





When we were leaving Russell was getting a picture of us all by the fountain and a man stopped and asked if he wanted to get in-what a nice man. So we got a group shot. I told Russell in the car, what if this was our family-two sets of twins and a baby! We do love that we have "twin cousins" that live right around the corner from us and that we get to play and have fun with them all of the time. It was a great evening at the zoo.

Dana, I have't looked at your blog in awhile, but got caught up today! Your family is sooooo cute, and of course, you look great! We love the zoo too. We have a membership there, and go often. We should meet you there sometime. This is getting to be ridiculous...how long has it been since I saw you, like 2 years?
