Again with the Zoo

This past weekend we decided that we needed to get out of the house, so we took the kids to their third trip to the zoo in a week.  They didn’t complain, though.  First we went to see the sea lions, then we stopped by to see a show where they brought out a big snake and an owl.  To my shock, the kids sat mesmerized for the show.

And of course a trip to the zoo is not a trip to the zoo without stopping to see the monkeys.

After the monkeys, we grabbed a bite to eat.  Once we sat down to eat, we realized that we forgot a sippy cup for Penelope.  I decided that I would just let her drink a little water out of my cup.  She surprised us by yanking the cup out of my hands and drinking from it herself.  Sure, she got a little wet, but overall did a great job.

Then the kids ran around and played a bit, and Rosemary had some extra Daddy time after the hand dryer unexpectedly went off in the bathroom. 

For the finale, we took a train ride.  I think Rosemary was the most excited.

Penelope wasn’t that excited about it at first, but she finally settled in and enjoyed herself a little.

For some reason, the zoo just never gets old for any of us!
