We're goin' to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!

A friend from our ward recently had quintuplets, yes five, and they have 2 older kids as well. Her oldest is in school but their 2nd is not yet. So we signed up to take her on a little playdate so we decided to go to the zoo! We had tons of fun. We also invited our friends Evka and Averee to come along! We had lots of fun together. It was a warm day, of course, but not too bad! We got to feed lots of animals and see some big ones as well. They had all kinds of monkeys and we were excited to see some of them were Marmasets like on Diego! The black bear was swimming and splashing around. It was fun. Last time we were there, the tiger was swimming and playing. The Austin Zoo is really small. It is funny. But then it is crazy because the big huge animals are just behind a chain-link fence. Then there is about 3 feet of space and a rope so you can't go right up to the fence but if you leaned over you could! So it's a little S-C-A-R-Y. But then cool because you are so close to these beautiful HUGE animals! Right when we got there Sadie told the girls to be "CAREFUL of the PEACOCKS!" Last time we went she had a little trauma because peacocks just rome around the zoo and she was wondering off without Mommy a little ways. Then these 2 peacocks came running down the path, (one chasing the other) and Sadie thought they were coming after her! She screamed for me and came running toward me, while I was trying to take a picture of Lucy by the Bears. The peacocks ran right to us and jumped up in the tree that was right above us. It was a little crazy. Then at lunch Sadie went over to wash her hands by the bathrooms and a peacock was hanging out on the overhang thing over the sinks and as she was turning around to come back it jumped down right by her! Trauma! It was sad but funny! Anyway, that was our last trip! Here are pictures from THIS trip of the girls on the train.

and...Lucy was done!

Feeding the deer.

This deer got a little more than he bargained for (he at the paper and everything!)

Lucy wasn't too happy about that!

All in all it was a fun trip! Everyone was pooped and hungry by the time we were done! We accomplished our goal! Have fun and get the kids tired!
