PRICELESS!!
Great pictures! I LOVE the shirt your son is wearing…it’s so cool.
How cool! I just got a Denver Zoo membership last Thursday – took CJ for the day – so let me know if the kids want to go again.
So cute! Sounds like you all had a great time.
We were planning an outing this morning to the local zoo, but ended up taking alternating naps instead. Oh well, at least we’re all rested now.
Yeah! Cool! We bought a zoo pass this year, check it out if you think you might want to go again..
Looks like they had a blast! (PS- what’s up with those irritating loud foot massage things? If I were a girraffe I’d be seriously pissed.)
mama_t: the shirt is from the San Diego Zoo–I love it too!
binkytown: those things scared the crap out of me!
That looked like a fun day! I love the photo of you and the kids in the train, you’re having so much fun.
Oh how I used to love to take the kids to the zoo!
I think child #4 kind of suffered a bit from the lack of zoo animals in his life. Instead, he has to watch all of his big brothers in their sports lives (which at times can be like watching Zoo animals.

Sounds wonderful! My daughter would so love the zoo but has to make do with our little museum, which has just fish and otters and various raptors…
Love your little guy’s hat! Your kids are so cute and they look like they’re having the time of their lives.
They must have those molten plastic machines leftover from when we were little. But back then, it was a cool toy! At least, I always thought so.
