Wild about the Zoo

Thanks to the Ft. Worth Zoo memberships mom gave me and Ely for our birthdays, we have become frequent guests.  Since we have had such an early spring we are going lots right now before it gets too hot and school is out.  I must say, I am quite spoiled by going Monday - Friday and not having to fight the crowds.

I forgot to post on our last trip so I will include pictures from our outing in March with the Andrews and Kaspars as well as from our trip today with the Cheatham girls, Michelle, Haden and Brooklyn, and a new friends, Whitney and her daughter Kourtney.  Although I didn't know Michelle, Whitney and their girls (plus a friend) very well it was great to go with other 5 year olds Ely knows from Compass.  It was a great day.  The babies skipped morning naps so they were pretty darn fussy.  I always appreciate when the other moms lend a hand to carry a sleepy baby or help maneuver a double stroller!  Thanks girl!

March 5th with the Andrews and Kaspars.  Ely is a bit of a navigator - he typically can be found with map in hand ready to know where we are headed next!

For the first time we hit the Texas Wild area at the very far end of the zoo.
It was cool that there were all sorts of crawl-dads for the kids to touch!

From today.

Molly is locked and loaded - ready for the trip to the zoo!

Waiting on everyone to get there.

Kourtney, Campbell, Cooper, Conley and Ely 

At least we have 2 babies in one picture.  It is a challenge to get them looking at same time!

Luke is THRILLED to be out of his stroller

3 kids looking - its a miracle!

Our crazy kids!

They had as much fun as they possible could!
