Zz is for Zoo

Since last fall, we've been studying one letter of the alphabet each week. We finished up with the letter Zz last week, so as a reward we went to the zoo on Friday. Yes, I took 3 kids by myself (all under the age of 3)...and no, I'm not crazy. As we were walking through the gate, there was a lady in front of us with 5 little ones by herself--that's crazy!

The kids were absolutely fantastic and we had a great time! The pictures, however, are not great. Apparently they had all conspired together to not look at the camera. But these at least prove that we were there! :-)

We're more interested in watching the baby elephant eat his straw than
having our picture made with it.

Snack time with the giraffes!

Getting out some energy on the playground

Whee!!!!

In front of the lions. ROAR!!!!

Shhh!!! Daddy lion is sleeping!
