To the zoo!

Trying to see the wart hogs...it's hard being little

Still in love with the "birdies"

We spent a warm but fun morning at the Reid Park Zoo with Grandma Diane, Great-Grandma Dudley, Melanie, Taylor, and Brooklyn.  It was supposed to be just the kids and I but Daddy surprised us by returning a day earlier than (I) expected from his hunting trip, so he came along with us!!!  The boys probably won't have let him out of their sight anyway, not after having been without him for seven days. 
Mason was super fascinated with the birds (peacocks), chasing them along the fence, all the while calling out "here birdie".  And I am pretty sure had we gone to the monkey's first, we would have had to sit there for a while so he could watch them and talk to them!  Brandon had fun too but was probably more excited about getting an ice cream cone after lunch!  It was nice to see some of Brian & Peggy's kids, but Brandon was a little disappointed that Easton didn't come along.  Maybe next time the weather will be a bit cooler and all the kids can go.
