A day at the zoo: Part 1

A couple of weeks ago, we decided to take a sporadic trip to the zoo. It was one of those mornings where Fico and I didn't have anything big we needed to get done, but we just wanted to get out and do something different rather than sit around the house all day, so we decided to load up and take the boys to the zoo right then and there. We told Casen that where we were going was a surprise and he had a fun time taking guesses as to where. None of them remotely close, haha. Fico did end up spoiling the surprise in the car by dropping the "Z" word just in conversation and Casen with his quick ears caught it before either of us even realized he'd said it. That child's brain is a sponge I tell ya. Anyway, that obviously didn't ruin the surprise as Casen was super excited THE ENTIRE TIME we were there. He didn't want to stop to look at anything in particular for longer than 5 seconds. He just wanted to runnnnn. Of course. He's a three year old boy, I'd be silly to expect anything else.

After we looked around at all of the animals, we went for a train ride and rode on the carousel. Then we took the boys to the splash park and let them run loose in the fountains. Anders, especially, was super cute because he had only just started walking a few days prior.

We really had a lot of fun as a family. It was the perfect day to be outside and there weren't too many people there since school was back in, so we really had a very pleasant day. With no meltdowns or fits!!! And of course both boys passed out once we headed home, they were worn out.

We have already talked about going back again soon.
