Lots of animals and 7 kids too!

Another zoo trip under our belt for the 2013 year.  One of our favorite places to visit for sure and we were so lucky to go with some of our cousins

Visiting the ape house

I love these next few pics because you can see Austin, Rio and Jax poking their heads through but also Logan in the reflection - fun picture for sure

Whew!  Rough day at the zoo apparently :)

Admiring the awesome turtle Lego work 

On to the elephants we go!  Of course we have to stop at the "pssst" elephant as well

Austin had to listen up close to hear him - love it

6 in the nest and 1 out

Pretty cute little birds if you ask me

One of MY favorites are the otters swimming around - I love them and think they are so super cute

Cooling off with a snack and water

So fun!

Brinlee, Hayden, Austin, Ty, Jax and Rio

We missed including Logan so we had to take just one more :)

And Jax was super excited about it!  I absolutely adore his excitement - he is so fun and finds joy in just about anything

Hello little seals

And another including a few lost seals

The zookeeper was showing the kids a little lizard and Aunt Kristin took all the kids down to go see it

Hayden, Rio and Jax cruising on their bike while looking at the big cats

Of course we can't miss the carousel but what I love is that they chose a new animal every single time!

This time around Jax chose the polar bear

Austin was on the giraffe

And my lively Rio enjoying her zebra

I always have so much fun with you guys! And we love hanging out with our cousins too!

Final stop: ice cream!
