We had a playdate w/ Angie and her crew, a friend of hers w/ her two kids, and Lisa and Ellie. We decided on the zoo for this get together, and it was the perfect choice. It was overcast, but didn't rain until we were just about done. Since it was a gray day, and school was back in session, we had the place almost to ourselves! The kids really enjoyed themselves, but why wouldn't they? Here is a shot of all 8 kids together, around the gorilla statue:
The boys wanted to see how they measured up to a penguin:
Ajay stuck to Angie's side like glue. If she started walking ahead of him, he'd shout for her to wait for him. He'd run up, and either help push the stroller, or hold onto her hand.
He let go of Angie long enough to race across the bridge with Jacob (hand in hand).
This was our next to last stop - watching the elephant get her bath and pedicure. The boys took awhile warming up, but once they got comfortable, they started firing off questions for the zookeeper. It was fun watching them take it all in.
This gorilla was sitting up against the glass, eating her grass snack. Lisa wanted Ellie to see the gorilla, and Josiah wanted the gorilla to see his batman action figure.
One more photo - it's not very good. These were all taken with my phone, and while it takes great shots out in full daylight, it takes pretty bad photos with low light. But I wanted to put up another pic of Alex. He spent half the day in the sling on me, the other half pushed around in the stroller. He refused to fall asleep, so here he is looking perty tuckered out while we watch the elephants.
