Busy Day Part I: Zoo Trip

We met my sister Emily and her kiddos, Clementine and Dutch, at the Woodland Park Zoo for our Annual kick off to Summer. We did not mean to dress the entire crew in turquoise but it happened...we're just that much in sync.

Checking the map before we get started. Fun fact: Clementine LOVES reading maps and was really good at getting us where we needed to be. Such a clever girl!

It wouldn't be a zoo trip without some pictures of kids on statues! Here's 3 to kick us off.

Yup, Nolan's over it.

The kids bravely checking out some GIANT snakes.

The babies were pretty happy watching from their strollers.

The penguin exhibit was the favorite this trip. They were feeding them when we were there so there was
plenty of action.

I love that chubby little arm! 

Clementine's Monkey resting on Miles.

When I saw the full face face painting booth I knew it had to happen. Nolan hasn't been interested before but I knew if Clementine got one he would want one too...good old peer pressure.

When they were done, I asked them to stand by the bushes so I could get a picture and this is how they posed.
So random!

Detail shot of my little tiger. 

And the pretty Princess. I really wanted one for myself too, but had to refrain.

This trip was extra special because we FINALLY found the petting zoo! 

One final family shot before we hit the road. The pressure was on to get these boys to sleep so that we could stay up late for Busy Day Part II.
