I decided to take a week off of work mainly to spend time with Jacob. He's been looking foward to this week all summer and one of the things he really wanted to do was go to the zoo. I told him it would probably be too hot but we'll see and to pray for cool weather!
Jacob thought is was pretty awesome that God answered our prayer on Monday. We woke up to and overcast 81 degrees outside!
We packed up some snacks and doughnuts...can't forget the doughnuts... and headed off to the zoo at 630am.... coffee anyone?
Gracie did great just hanging out in her stroller and was more interested in the trees than in the animals but whatever works! She did stop and look at the ducks that were crossing the path by the lake. Sitting there with her foot propped up on her carseat just chillin watching the ducks cross. We checked out the Harmony Farm petting zoo to see the goats and she was very interested in touching them and talking to them! So cute! Then she was out for the count the rest of the time at the zoo. She's like her daddy and will sleep anywhere!
Jacob was on map patrol and took his job VERY seriously. He led us around the whole zoo following the map by every detail. He enjoyed trying to show his sister all the animals and was quick to point out the rear ends of all the animals... what a boy!
On out Jacob wanted to do the camel ride which lasted all of a minute and was $5! After getting off the camel and walking off the steps he says "that wasn't a very long camel ride for 5 bucks!" LOVE IT!!!
After the zoo we went to Grandma and Granddads to eat lunch then home to play the Wii. We had a great day!
