Zoo Day

Last week Mimi and Papa offered to make a trip to the zoo with us, my SIL, and her little girl who is the boys' closest cousin.

These were the faces on my  boys when we arrived.

They immediately saw the animatronic dinosaurs and started roaring. haha!

{Have I mentioned how much I love little boys?}

{I} in white {B} in blue (and who wore his hat the entire day!)

Trains are still the greatest thing ever for these boys, so of course we had to watch the train. 

The dinosaurs are sure fun there. The boys were very intrigued by this baby dinosaur in particular.

They sat straight up in their stroller while we watched those funny dinosaurs.

They were hilarious when we saw the monkeys and immediately chimed "oo-oo, ah-ah!"

I love that they are staring at this giant elephant and the T-Rex the same way in these two pictures! haha

We watched the seal and sea lion show which was pretty entertaining.

The whole group.

Maybe I should have tried harder to get the boys to look at the camera.

We rode the carousel although {I}had no desire to sit on an animal, so he rode on my hip.

And {B} did not change facial expressions the entire time.

The second time around we tried this big bench and that seemed good except they still remained pretty stone faced.

These ice cream cones were half cones. I don't know what kind of half cone is this gigantic, but by the time I ate my cone (which became {I's} cone), and licked all the drips from their cones, I'm sure I ate at least 2 ice cream cones.

They have flavored ice cream that I never knew could exist. I decided to get the banana flavored one, and boy was it delicious. Next time you're at Hogle Zoo, pick up the banana flavored ice cream.

The kiddos were very intrigued by this hissing cockroach. 

And of course they had to touch it. 

Gross.

And once again, we wore them right out!

It was just the most perfect day!

Thanks again Mimi and Papa!
