First trip to the zoo in 2012

Today was beautiful.  We went to the zoo right as they opened which was such a great idea.  We got out of there before it got too crazy!  There were 3 buses that pulled up right as we were leaving.  The playground was getting so busy as we left too.


As always we let the kids take the lead, and it was nice to wander through the zoo visiting with my friend Heidi!  We haven't seen each other in a while, and our kids get along so well.  Roman and Aubrey were inseparable, we knew if we could see one, the other was nearby.  The problem with at....when one ran off...the other was right behind!

I forgot that I had my camera until we were to the monkeys and there was a cute tiny baby monkey.  It was so cute and little.

The kids always insist that we ride on the carousel.  Hudson was so sad when it stopped.  He didn't want to get off.  He had so much fun.


We first saw the tigers lounging quietly on their ledge and  napping by the fence, then all of a sudden they got up and started pacing.  At one point there were two pacing by the door...I think it must have been lunch time and they knew it.




And we can't ever leave the zoo without stopping at the playground. Roman ran off to play with Aubrey, Kaylee and Gabby, I was with Hudson so I got a few pictures of him playing.

He went down the big snake slide...a few times. He laughed the whole was down.
