Todd took the afternoon off from work and we took the kids to the zoo. We were there for 2 1/2 hours and we were exhausted. The zoo does that to me. I think it's a combination of the sun, the walking, and getting kids in and out of the stroller every 2 minutes. This time we took Charlie's little car that has the handle on it to push him. He loved it! He was able to get in and out by himself{kind of} and was SO EXCITED{lots of emphasize on excited} about seeing all of the animals. He is the kind of little boy that doesn't care a whole lot about cars and balls but could make animal noises and play with animals all day. So a trip to the zoo is right up his alley!
This is what the zoo looks like in the desert...saguaro cactus!! The highlight of the zoo for Emma Grace and Charlie is the petting area with all of the goats. We have to convince them that it's time to go! Can you see Charlie's excitement? It was really hard to get a picture of him because he was literally running from goat to goat trying to pet them all.
There is a little area that is for "GOATS ONLY". Charlie could sometimes pass for a monkey, a dog, or a GOAT!! Charlie clearly can't read and we just couldn't tell him that he was not allowed to go in there. The goats that were going in there to get away from Charlie were giving him dirty looks when he would try to come in.
Emma Grace loves animals and is so gentle with them. Animals {I think} feel really at ease with her too. Maybe one day her parents will give in and let her and her sisters get a dog.
