ZOO!

We did it. We took our summer trip to the zoo.

boy was it HOT...

so the kids got cooled off by an 'elephant'...

we saw all the usual zoo animals...lions, tigers, eagles...

and a few we didn't expect...

we walked and walked...


til we worked up an appetite....

then we watched the penguins swim...

we even learned about 'animals' of long ago...

the kids wore themselves out...

...can you believe people were asking if Ya-Ya and Pac-Man were twins? They used to ask us if the oldest girls were twins now it's the middle two...PacMan must really be growing up.

anyway, even DADDY enjoyed himself...

at the end of the day...they were eating out the palm of our hands...

AC called it "the best day ever"!
