Big Boy Trip

Kae has been doing a wonderful job using the potty. I told him when he could go 2 days without an accident we would go to either the zoo or the aquarium. He picked the zoo. He earned his trip late last week but we waited until today so that Nonna and Poppi could join us. It was a beautiful day at the zoo. The only down side was that everyone else in Colorado agreed it was beautiful day and went to the zoo today too.

We arrived early and started our day with donuts.We stopped at the polar bear exhibit where we learned that polar bears are bigger than both Kae and Izee.Next we looked at lots of fish, turtles and lizards.After all that the boys need a juice and snack break so they rested in their strollers while they watched the sea lions.We continued around the zoo and saw giraffes, zebras, and camels before finding our way to the rides. First we rode the train.
Then we rode the carousel. Kae picked a dolphin to ride and Izee picked a hippo.
After the rides we stopped for a picnic lunch in a grassy field.
Izee barely ate (which is weird for him) because he was too busy chasing the geese. I think he was trying to pet them.

The boys were getting pretty tired by this point so we started heading for the exit. We made a couple stops along the way. First we stopped at the penguins but they weren't there. We figured they must be in their caves. Kae even tried out a cave to see what it is like to be a penguin.

Our last stop before we left was the elephants. No zoo trip would be complete without seeing the elephants. We all had a great time!Especially the boys who slept the whole way home.
