Last Monday

To commemorate Caleb's last Monday before becoming a Kindergartner, we went to the zoo. If you remember, last trip to the zoo wasn't so much fun ($1 day, very hot, grumpy kids, too crowded). This time however, we got one of the front parking spots and it wasn't too hot. We got there pretty soon after the zoo opened and the animals were still out and about before it got too hot. The kids were excited and so our day began!

First stop - the Tortise. They were HUGE and the kids thought it would be cool to have their pictures taken

Watching the elephants and giraffes....I chose to put pictures of my kids instead of the animals, we all know what an elephant and giraffe look like, and my kids seem to grow and change by the day....so sorry there aren't too many pics of animals.

Caleb kept asking when we could go see the monkeys, but he did enjoy the bigger animals.

Once we finally got to the monkeys, my monkeys needed a snack, so we sat on a bench across from the monkeys, enjoyed a snack, and watched the monkeys who were quite active this morning.

The monkeys were Caleb's favorite.

One of the reasons we purchased a season pass to the zoo was for the children's area.....there is a stream that the kids can play in and cool off, a playground, petting zoo, pony rides, fish, birds to feed, picnic area, and bathrooms....we have to go see the big animals before coming here otherwise, we would never go anywhere else in the zoo.

After the zoo, we went to Josh's office to have lunch with him. The kids were so excited to see where dad works. I am always telling them that he is at work, but they hadn't ever been there, so we went today and now they can picture him at work instead of wondering what that meant.

We are going to try and go to boomerang's tomorrow (a jump house that Caleb has been begging to go to all summer)...stay tuned
