Fun time at the Zoo

On Wednesday Tyler and I got to go to the Hoogle Zoo with Tony's mom, his sister Suzanne and her four kids. It was lots of fun. It was a little chilly and it rained on us a little bit, but we all still had a good time. Suzanne has a annual pass and with that you get to let two other people in for free, so it was really nice of her to think about Tyler and me. I haven't been to the zoo since I was in elementary school, so it was nice to go and see how it is now.

We saw lot of fun animals and Tyler really liked them all. I really liked seeing the elephants and the giraffes. The picture of Tyler and Gabe in their strollers is right in front of the elephants. It was fun to see Tyler's reaction to these animals.
It was kind of sad to see them in such small areas or even to see some of them all by them selves, so sad. Tyler kept hearing the train and every time would say "choo choo." Once we were done seeing all of the animals we got to go on the little train that they have. Tyler really liked that. Then they have a playground area that all the kids liked playing in. I think that we spent two hours seeing the animals and at least an hour playing in the play ground. They have a lot of different things for kids to do, so that makes it extra fun. When we decided to leave, non of the kids were very happy about that. I take that as a good sign and that it was a fun day.
Other then going to the zoo, we haven't really been up to anything. We were looking into putting in a fence, but it doesn't look like we will be able to afford it this year. Maybe next year with the tax return we will be able to do the fence that we would like. Maybe we will be able to move by then, who knows. It should be okay this year because I will be able to always keep my eye on Tyler, where next year will be harder with another child. I guess we will see what happens. Right now we are going to just do little things around the house. That should be fun too.

We think the zoo is great--at least where we are. Fun times, fun times! :)

When you DO get a fence, you will be in HEAVEN! :) That is always the highlight of wherever we live. Good ol' backyard with room to play.
