First Trip to the Zoo!

On Sunday we took the boys to the zoo for the first time. It was a typical hot New Orleans day, but we went early, put on sunscreen and hats, and prayed for a breeze. Christian had a wonderful time, at first he was actually speechless when he saw the elephants. I don't think he realized what he was going to see! But seeing actual, real animals was the highlight of his life I think! He even went into the petting zoo to pet and feed the goats!

Then we ate some lunch, walked around the rest of the zoo and played on monkey hill. It was a good day, and I enjoyed spending time with my toddler.


Gabe was a perfect baby, he layed in the back half of the double stroller and just looked around. Didn't make a sound, unless he was hungry. My kids are so great! I can't wait until they are just a bit older so they can enjoy each other as much as I enjoy them.


On the way home, the boys were worn out so it wasn't long before they passed out!
