A hot day at the zoo!

We headed out a couple of weekends ago for a family trip to the zoo with some friends.  It was a pretty hot day even when we got there early in the morning!  We got there right away when the zoo opened and I think that's totally the way to go from now on.  It wasn't crowded and the animals were all pretty active and fun to watch.  Afterwards we went to our friends place and the kids played in the kiddi pool and blow-up water slide all afternoon.  Athena and Alton were so tuckered out from the day that they both slept in until 9:30 the next day!  Nice!

The play area is always a big hit with the kids when we're there!  Can you believe how big Alton is getting?:)

Goat feeding always tops the must-do list.

Alton enjoyed feeding the goats more when he was able to do it from the comfort of daddy's lap:)

Chasing them and petting them he was happy to do all on his own.  Pretty much the same thing he does with Amber at home!

After a long hot morning at the zoo, hopping into a nice air conditioned car and snuggling with his blankie had him zonked out cold before we were even out of the parking lot. 

Same for big sissy.  See her cute ladybug tattoo she got at the zoo?   I think John probably would have been zonked out too had we not made a quick stop for some iced lattes on the way home!  Yum!
