We're back and we had an absolutely amazing, wonderful time! It was relaxing and my only complaint was it went by way too fast! I will be breaking the trip down into several more manageable posts, just so that I don't forget anything.
We got up very early (for us) on Monday morning. I had packed everything the night before and set out all of our clothes too so the prep was pretty easy. We were showered, gassed up, and on the road by 8:30. I was proud of us and a little nervous to be making the drive myself. We had no problems at all and arrived at our first destination by 10:30! I was so happy that we had made such good time.
We spent the first day at the Zoo with a good friend and her family. The weather was cool and it only sprinkled a bit. It was really a perfect day to see the animals.
Apparently Buster was impressed with this up and close and personal encounter with a giraffe. It's amazing how close they will get, just hoping for a snack.
Unlike giraffes, Buster loves elephants. He was concerned when the one below couldn't get his ball back in the fence. It was cute to see him so worried about the big guy!
We couldn't get to each exhibit fast enough for his liking. He sas something cool here and didn't hesitate to point it out!
The kids loved this Rhino that "marked his territory" by spraying them with water. The first time was a shock, but they kept going back for more.
Buster's current obsession is 4 wheelers. It was more than a little difficult to get him off of this one so we could move on!
Midge enjoyed crawling in and out of these great big pots! They were much cooler on the inside than the outside temperature.
All of the kids enjoyed climbing in the plane and taking the controls. It was such a fun trip and we really are so fotunate to live close to not only one but two really nice zoos. That night we headed back to my friends house and enjoyed a steak dinner and the kids played together outside. We were all pretty exhausted that night and ready for our next leg of the journey!
