Free day at the Zoo

Wednesday was a free day at the zoo.  I knew it would be packed because it was 60 degrees.  At the last minute I decided to take Hallee and Wyatt first thing in the morning.  We got there at 9:00 AM right when it opened.  We stayed for an hour and a half and we were able to beat the crowds.  It was packed by the time we left.

Wow, Hallee looks old! 

I decided to leave the stroller in the car.  Both of the kids like to get out and walk and it is easier to chase Hallee around when I don't have to worry about keeping track of our stroller too.  It was fine until it was time to leave, that is when you just want to put them in the stroller and rush out!  I had to carry Hallee out because she kept stopping to look at everything.

Wyatt loves maps.  He opened the map and told us where we needed to go first. 

We started out at the Elephants and it was getting a little crowded so we rushed down to the polar bears and stayed ahead of the crowd the rest of the time.

Oh man, I love these two! 

We have been playing outside a lot this week.  I didn't realize how bad my winter blues were until the sun came out this week.  I have had more energy and felt so much happier!

Wyatt kept wanting to hold Hallee's hand and she didn't want to.  She finally did for a while and Wyatt was thrilled.  He likes to be in the big kid role!

I think the kids like the fake animals as much as they like the real ones. 

We stopped at the small animal building on our way out.  I think this was their favorite part.  They were so excited as they ran from animal to animal.   We had a lot of fun and I'm glad we went. 

 We rushed home and ate lunch so I could go into the school.  Thanks to my mom watching the little two I was able to go into Caitlyn and Jonah's class.  They both love it when I come in, which makes me feel good.
