Zoo Trip

Saturday we packed up the twins and their wagon and headed up to the zoo! We had some passes that needed to be used by April so we have been waiting for a semi nice weekend to go.  Seeing as our weather here was 50 but sunny it is considered Spring and you go outside! The twins were much more into the zoo this trip than the last time that we went.  They were so excited to see all of the animals and wanted to walk around all by themselves. 

We got there just after the park opened before the huge crowds arrived (remember it is Washington and over 50 degrees, everyone goes outside).  We made the whole round by a little after noon and headed home.  The rest of the day we went on a family walk and played outside, good thing too since today it is raining... :( .  We are considering getting the family membership so we can go whenever we want all year and not feel bad if we only spend a couple hours there. 

Here are a few pictures from our zoo trip!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

The Twins 1st Trip to the Zoo

On Saturday July 3rd we took the twins to the zoo for the 1st time.  We also brought my cousin Hannah and my sister with us, it's always nice to have a couple of extra hands when taking the twins out.  I have been waiting for them to be at an age that it would be fun for them and by was it.  The loved the animals and pointed at everything.  Landon's favorite word right now is "dog" which sounds more like "daw" so every animal from the Lions to the penguins were "daw" to him.  Ava loved the trees and loved trying to reach up and grab leaves from them. 

They were in love with the goats...yeah weird I know, I think they liked them since they were able to be face to face with them unlike some of the larger animals that were off doing their thing.  They also loved the Family Farm area of the zoo where they had a "worm crawl" play area and an old tractor they could play on.  All in all it was a fun day and they did so well all day, they even took a little nap in their stroller.  O the funniest thing was while they were laying down in their stroller Ava would reach her hand through an opening over to her brother and he would grab her hand and laugh, then she would laugh, I wish I would have had my video camera because it was soooooo cute and sooooo funny to watch. 

I can't wait to take more family trips to the zoo.  Here are some pictures from our fun day!
