A Morning at the Zoo

We wanted to go to the zoo one more time before our zoo membership expired in late November. The boys had a great time. It was especially fun to see Ryan's reaction to some of the animals.

The boys spent just as much time walking/running as they did in the wagon, though it was nice to have a place for them to sit when they got tired.

The meerkats were a hit, as usual.

It was fun watching the elephants. One of Ian's favorite parts this time was seeing the baby elephant get all scrubbed off with soap and then get a shower.

The boys enjoyed their carousel ride, despite how this picture looks. :)

Of course, Ian requested to have Daddy go with him into the prairie dog exhibit (where they don't have actual prairie dogs ... ha!)

We got to pet and brush the goats a little bit before it started raining really hard.

We ate our picnic lunch under a covered pavilion and then headed out of the zoo, making sure to take some time to play the drums on the way!
