Zoo, Bounce House & Swimming... Oh My!

Before I got too big and not able to move around as easily, I really wanted to take the kids to the zoo so we went back at the end of May.  It was great weather and so much fun!  We only went once last year too so they had a blast!

Always a main attractant was the drinking fountain lion - so cute!  We went with some of our friends too so they were all in the mix :)

Reese, Lucas, Avery, Rio, Jax & Austin trying to watch the elephants eat - they were so cute!  There was even a little, tiny baby to see

These kids were hilarious to watch with this elephant!  It makes a loud noise and squirts out air/water - some of them loved it!  And others....well, not so much!  Cute little Reese wasn't sure she wanted to be in the picture - little cutie!

So here we are the zoo and the second my kids saw the carousel, that is all they wanted to do!  Sadly, it was slim pickens' when we got on so my cute Rio got the stationary giraffe but honestly, she was still in complete heaven!

Austin chose the spider monkey and sweet Jax (because I had to stay around all 3 of them) got the ladybug but he was loving it the whole time!  So cute - he still talks about his "big ride of the ladybug"

Got all 3 - no one looking of course but nonetheless, all 6 monkeys of our own climbing around the lion statue

Rio & Avery watching this silly chicken - they couldn't stop laughing - sweet girls!

*I had to throw this pic in the mix because I loved it so much!  My kiddos love their glasses; Jax and Rio would keep them on all day if I would let them most days*



We also had some fun days so far at the Bounce House - Unfortunately, all the pics I took were all blurry so sadly, I couldn't post any of the "action shots" - so I got them climbing up the big steps to the HUGE slide!  They have loved it and couldn't get enough :)

Even though this one is super blurry, I had to take it since it may be my only shot of pregnant mommy and the trips on slide!  So fun!

*We had some fun swimming days so far and our first outing was at my friend Angie's house with some of our trip friends.  Here are the 9 of our kiddos loving life in the pool!

After swinging and swimming, we ordered pizza and made it a day!  Such cuties!
