Jason got Friday off- combined with a no call weekend= a quick trip to Atlanta!!
We found free tickets to the zoo through our library -- so that's what we did ;)
We surprised the kids-- we told them it was something fun- and kept giving clues - the biggest being their outfits.
They loved it!
The one legged sleeping blew the girls' minds.
Because we got in free- we spend $2.00 on letting them feel "the winds of Africa" they adored it--
One of their favorite books right now is "Marsupial Sue" -- so, needless to say, the kangaroos were a hit.
Cutie girl
The petting zoo had only goats-- but this one was named Ariel and was three-- both details salvaged the experience.
Callan played and ran and crawled through the wire fence to get to the rhino-- like I caught his foot-- the only thing left in safe territory... And then passed out-- he hasn't been in the moby in months (Cavan is too big) but I brought it for him to take a nap on Jason-- look how huge he is!! I love/hate how long he is. ;)
The little birdies in the nest.
The parakeets where hands on and the kids thought it was paradise. Such a fun fun day-- Emmy had a running list of which animals she plans on owning when she grows up and did ask if we could buy the twin baby panda bears now... Bless her heart.
