Zoo!!!

We braved the heat with 3 toddlers and a newborn in tow to go visit the National Zoo last weekend. It was a hot trip, but worth every minute. The kids LOVED the animals. We are hoping to plan another trip when the weather is much cooler...maybe sometime in the Fall. Most of the animals were out and moving around in the morning. As the day went on, the animals became a little more lazy...but we still had fun..with ice cream treats and water mist through the park.

Here are most of the animals we saw while we are there. Although I do not have a close-up picture of Cameron's favorite: a COW. Yes, I said it: COW. His favorite animal of the day was a cow. I didn't get a good shot of the cow b/c I honestly didn't think it was that big of a deal. Guess we will be heading to a farm this fall :)



Cameron was on a mission all day. He loved running from exhibit to exhibit to see what he could find next. I just loved watching his facial expressions as he discovered each animal. He truly is an animal lover!


Sweet, sweet Elizabeth and Aliyah had a blast! :)


These are the only pictures I got from the Kids Farm at the Zoo, which is where Cameron fell in love with the cows. This was our last stop of the day with a VERY tired Cameron on our hands, so there was no time for taking pictures :)


Cameron was asleep before we left the parking lot at the Zoo...then was exhausted when we got home. He laid around for the rest of the evening and went to bed extra early that night. What a fun day we had!! :)



Some of my favorites from the day...
