i LOVE the zoo! i've blogged about it this time and that time last year because it's always been a favorite! but the people i've gone with are always definitely what makes it.
but this time, there was a little twist... actually two little twists (: ... because i took my nanny kids there on a week day. i've never explored the zoo with little kids in tow, but needless to say, it was a different experience! let's just say that this time, my personal enjoyment of what the zoo has to offer was secondary. also, i think every other nanny/ mom had the same idea that day.. oof.. kids crawlin around everywhere! that part reeeally wasn't my favorite. neither was the time i got really excited to take them on the carousel that's in the rides part of the zoo, and little two-year-old lucas looks up at me and says "i have to go potty" while we're standing in line and there's no bathroom in sight..
but after that day, i sure have that much more appreciation and respect for moms and dads. i kind of think they're super heroes.
but regardless, it sure is a fun time for all, that zoo!
i'd recommend if you're around!

^^^ "sparky the seal show?" kind of overrated. but just look at all those little kids! we might have left early so that we could finally see the rest of the park without so many people everywhere ^^^

the most i'd ever heard them giggle was on that little train! ^^^
^^^ this was before the carousel started and before lucas started crying because he was scared. i kind of loved holding him while he was scared though, not even gonna deny it. ^^^
^^^ it was my favorite thing turning around to see their sweet little sleeping faces on the drive home! i think one day, if God ever blesses me in that way, i'd really like being a mom. ^^^
