This year we got to remember our Veterans while enjoying the zoo. I am not an animal person. I usually whine & complain when I have to be near them; however, this day ended in season passes. Our children loved being there! It was so neat to watch their faces light up & be so excited. Sydney loved the Monkeys. The monkeys loved Sydney too.
Ty was thrilled to ride the Zoo train.
The flamingo shot...a family classic.
Feeding the giraffes. I know you can't tell, but Jeff if leaning in to feed it & Ty is gripping his Dad for dear life!
They were both a little freaked out by the petting zoo. Who wouldn't be? Anyone at eye level gets chomped on & baa'ed at. Freaky stuff. Ty did actually warm up to 1 animal...it was a big step. Afterward when we were playing at the Zoo park Ty asked Jeff to go into the petting area, get an animal & bring it out for him to pet.
The day ended in cranky kids. It didn't take long to realize why they were being cranky though.
That night Ty came out of his room just after 10pm complaining that there were animals in his room. It was the first dream he's ever shared. He was willing to go back to bed if Dad left the door open. It was a good day!

That looks so fun- we haven't made it to the zoo, even once, since we moved to AZ. We have talked about it a lot though! Maybe you will be my inspiration to make it over there!
What a great day at the zoo for your sweet family! :)
