Yearly Fun

We went to Hogle Zoo. We go once a year and it is usually during Labor Day weekend. Greg has been working a lot of weekends lately so we finally found a day that worked. I am sure glad we went. It wasn't too busy and it wasn't too hot. The kids loved it and we had so much fun. All the animals were out so we got to see all of them. We usually walk around and after a couple of hours, we just go to the animals we really want to see. The kids were great and we love the yearly zoo trip. Here are some highlights of our trip.

Here the family is having fun at Discoveryland. It is the zoo playground.

Lola riding a ginormous caterpillar.

On the see-saw/teeter-toter.

The elephant's trunk sprays water and Caden put his face there right as it sprayed.

The carousel is a new addition. Caden loved it and had to be on the lion. He rode it twice.

Lola during Caden's carousel rides. She fell asleep right when we got there.

Lola slept the entire time and woke up right when we go to the gift shop to pick out a toy. Lola got a little tiger stuffed animal and Caden got a green camera. All-in-all, it was a great trip!

Your kids are just so adorable, I love hearing about them! I finished breaking dawn a while ago, and have now been reading the draft of Midnight Sun online! Are you reading it?? What do you think? I love it so far.
