Oh the Zoo.
Will you all ever get tired of zoo pictures? Better not, because we have a looooong couple seasons of zoo ahead of us!

The zoo looks a lot like this, from the mama-angle nowadays.
And Adrienne and I agree: It is very, very nice that way. Only last year the running ahead was cause for anxiety and mama-attacks of that sort.
Now that they are Big Kids we are feeling like sending them off with a lunch and telling them to meet us at the elephants when they are done. Maybe next year...

2 very cool kids messing around with leaves in the water sculpture thing.
Isn't O cool with his sunglasses?
We aren't going to get away without ordering Moon some this year, I am afraid.

And the goat petting zoo was open! I don't think it has ever been open and Moon want to go in before. It was a fun time and on the way home, Moon said that she would like a farm with goats on it at home. Add that to the list for next year. And next house. And next Mom.

O petting this real cool old goat. Moon wouldn't pet "the dirty one".

A nice, over sunny shot of the kids. How did they get so big???

A pause to watch airplanes is always appropriate.

And a totally wild and crazy lunch on the lawn. We have no idea where they got the energy for this run around. We were at the zoo for four (4!) hours Friday!

A video to capture some of the crazies.

Ummm, and of course sweet Lan was there. In the stroller. I did take a picture of him in the stroller, but it didn't make the final cut. Next time, Lanny Boy, next time.
