First Trip to the Zoo

My friend Emily and I are determined to keep our boys busy this summer so we arranged a play date for the first Monday after school was out to go to the zoo. Luke had never been before and I wasn't sure that he would really get it, but he did! He had so much fun looking at all of the animals and hearing all of the noises from the birds and monkeys! He especially loved the hippos, the fish, and the birds. We had such a good time that I decided to buy a family membership so we can go every week!

Luke and Collin are only 5 months apart, but Luke looks so much younger since he is such a shorty. Also, I doused him in sunscreen so that's why his hair is spiked up in a greasy mess.

He loved the petting zoo too, but not because of the goats...he loved playing in the gravel and with the goats' brushes... he kept digging in the dirt and brushing the gravel then getting excited because I had to wash his hands. I think we spent majority of our day at the petting zoo getting dirty and then washing our hands.
