Zoo

I forgot to blog about this but before our California trip we went to Wichita to pickup Kevin's parents and thought it would be fun to take the kids to the zoo. Nellie threw up on the drive down from playing her Leapster, so that is always a fun thing to deal with, but we had some clothes to change her into so it wasn't too bad. We hadn't taken Janie to the zoo since she was tiny, so it was fun to watch her with the animals. The girls got to feed the giraffes and Janie thought it was so cool, she just held out this branch until the giraffes came and took it.
Lizzy used to be really scared of animals and never would have done this, but she isn't scared anymore.

The gorillas were a favorite with the girls. They were fascinated by them and of course Nellie had to make a comment about their buns. "Look mom you can see their bunny cakes!"

Janie has all of a sudden become super independent, I guess I should have known that would happen. She absolutely did not want to ride in the stroller and had to walk by herself everywhere. She is a big shot who thinks she is just as big as her sisters.

Why is it that when they are little they don't want to ride in the stroller, but when they get big they decide they have to ride in the stroller. Silly girls.

Janie discovered a new place to ride and she just loved it!

It was a fun day at the zoo! I love having kids because everything in life is just more fun with them around.
