Starting the Spring Season off at the Zoo

 What a fun time of year to start being outside!
We took our first trip to the zoo this year in March and had so much fun!
 I guess it shows that I take WAY too many pictures when my kids start finding places to "pose"
Aww...so cute to watch this mommy elephant and her baby - our little kids thought so too!

Checking out the rhinos
Of course we made a stop at the carousel - Austin was so excited that he got the wort hog this time - I've talked to him about these animals and shown him pictures from our trip to Africa a few years ago so he thinks they're pretty cool
Otter City!
*Rio, Hunter, Lia, Austin and Jax all fighting for a spot to see*

Roxy, Avery, Rio, Reese, Hunter, Lia, Jax and Austin
All 11 kiddies posing for the camera like usual - we've made them little camera hungry :)
I had to include this one too because I thought it was so cute that both Austin and Hunter wanted to make sure that their baby brothers were close by so they held on to the strollers - so cute!
Ready to check out the seals and sea lions
Can I just say that Logan is honestly the best baby?  We go a lot of places and he is always such a trooper and always so happy!
Grizzly bears - love that pic with all three bears and the kids were just in awe
How close can we get??
My little trio wanted me to take a pic of them touching their favorite kind of bear
Interesting choices I thought:
Austin chose the cool and slower black bear. Jax chose the grizzly - need I say more?  and Rio chose the "pretty" polar bear
Angie's kids joined us too and picked their favorite - such great little friends!
Wouldn't be the zoo if we didn't get a pic on the bears
The bear sculpture used to be their favorite spot but now it is this old, rusty bike!
They are so funny - I think they love it because they all "fit" on it and thought that was so cool.
What a lucky mom I am to be able to watch their simple joys unfold!!
