Zoo

God blessed us with the perfect trip to the zoo. We had been trying to get there all summer and it just didn't work out. So, we thoroughly enjoyed the high 70's, uncrowded zoo, and no meltdowns from our kids or their cousins when we finally made it to the zoo. Couldn't ask for a more perfect day! 
Ian's first trip to the zoo. I think he liked the aquarium the best because he actually focused on the fish and yelled at them as they swam around. Not to mention that he could smack his hands on the glass and make more noise!

Our favorite stop was the new sting-ray touch pool. We visited here first and last. Everyone but Olivia was brave enough to reach down and touch one during our first trip. But, during our last trip Olivia got brave and not only touched one but was the only one brave enough to feed them with daddy. Ry bought some dead fish and proceeded to show the girls how to make a fist while holding the fist and then putting his hand down in the water as far as he could. The sting-rays would swim over his hand and eat the fish. Pretty cool to watch!

So cool!!

Of course we tried to get a picture of all 4 girls on the smallest animal statue in the zoo!  Hahaha!

Attempting to stand like a flamingo.

Happy boy in his stroller for the first time. He loved being able to sit up by himself and grab at everything. 

What a crew!
