zoo day

last weekend we ventured out to the fort worth zoo a little apprehensive since you never know how wild the boys could get in the, well..., wild. but actually the outing was a HUGE success!! we didn't loose anyone, no one threw a tantrum, and crew and kade sat really well in the stroller the first part of the day. the only hiccup? crew blocking walkers on a bridge to stop and make gorilla noises, refusing to move. and no, we were no where near the gorillas anymore. luckily the people laughed and he's still light enough to scoop up and move out of the way. here's some pics:

justin and the boys at the gorillas, seriously, these guys (the monkeys) are huge!

crew, kade and me by the parrots, which are soo pretty! i didn't realize quite how brightly colored parrots are! i would actually consider owning one -but only if they didn't repeat back the things you say, it seems incriminating.

kade and crew loved the penguins! the little guys would swim and hover underwater right next to the glass, they thought it was so cool!

justin snapped this pic of the lion, so cute!

at the end of the trip we rode the little train back to the entrance to leave, and that ride may have been the highlight of brody's week! as a side story, i ran into a grandma (ok, she tracked me down) who's daughter just had twins and she asked when it starts getting easier. "three months? six months? seven? when does it get easier?" the look of panic in her eyes was priceless as justin turned to me and said "i don't know hon, has it started getting easier yet?" so funny! but really, i was one proud mama leaving the zoo, the boys had fun, they were happy and our family outing was great!
