A Day at the Zoo

Since Jaden is off from preschool this week, I am trying to do a fun activity everyday. Today we went to the Woodland Park Zoo. It was a beautiful, sunny February day and the kids were really excited to go. Bryson was looking forward to seeing the "roars" (lions) and Jaden wanted to see the wild dogs. Kailee came along too as did Erin, Laurel and Evan our neighbors/friends:)

Silhouettes of the kids (from L. to R. Evan, Bryson, Jaden, Kailee & Laurel).

Trying to get a group picture with 5 kids age 5 and under is not easy!

Jaden in front of the elephants.

Kailee too.

Just an elephant

Lastly, Bryson

We love to spot the orangutan's on the trail of vines, they are often found hiding under burlap sacks on the ground but we were lucky to see this guy sitting in a tree staring back at us.

After lunch we visited the Zoomazium which is a indoor playground. Here's J about to jump off the boulder.

J and B had a ton of fun going down the slide together, they must have done it a dozen times!

Kailee tried to walk down the slide!

We also visited the outdoor play area, here J is climbing the web.

Laurel, Kailee and Jaden

Evan and Bryson too!

Silly boy;)

My 1st born is getting so long and lean!

Bryson staring at the stream. Soon after taking this picture he decided to go run into it (even while I was telling him "NO")! I ran after him, grabbed him and put him in the stroller to turn around and see that Jaden just ran through it too! That marked the end of our trip to the zoo, since I had 2 exhausted, soggy-shoe little boys!
