Father's Day at the Zoo

Saturday Blake brought home flowers and a card and said all he wanted for Father's Day was to celebrate Mother's Day!  So sweet!  We were moving the weekend of Mother's Day, so it got put on the back burner, but honestly, every day is Mother's Day to me.

Here is what the girls made for Blake.  You can never have too many crafts of hand and footprints! 

We spent the day at the zoo and had a blast.  Addison was really into the animals and Alyssa was just along for the ride.  I can't believe it's been a year since we visited the zoo.  Shame on us!  There's so much to do and see.  Before we went I packed a small ice chest with water, snacks, etc.  All of the food at the zoo is junk and overpriced.  We did have pizza for lunch that was pretty decent, but otherwise ate yogurt, applesauce, cheese sticks, and organic cookies.  We rode the train for the first time.  I was a little confused as to why the train didn't have a path by any animals?  It's a 15-20 minute ride and you only go around the outside of the zoo.  There are parks and picnic areas to see, but nothing else.  Oh well, it was still fun and the girls really enjoyed the ride.  The carousel was a big hit!  Addison rode an elephant and Alyssa rode a log with 2 monkeys. 

Can you spot the two little girls?  The 4D movie was so much fun!  We got windblown hair from riding in a plane with Dora & Diego, splashed with water when they dove in the ocean, smelled the rainforest and smelled the banana when the butterfly swiped it.
