Our trip to the Zoo

While spending time with our extended family we decided to go to the Zoo.  It was so much fun. 

Extended Family at the Zoo

The kids hadn’t been in a couple years and this year they had a dinosaur exhibit, so there were a bunch of different dinosaurs all around the park.  This dinosaur would spit on you and my sister got this perfect picture of Thomas running away from the spitting dinosaur.

My mom made the girls these matching dresses and the boys some shirts that went with them as well, so we wanted to try and get a family picture taken while we were on vacation.  We tried to do it at the Zoo, but I wasn’t very happy with how they turned out.  Ace had an eye infection too, so he wasn’t very happy.  Here are the best shots that we got.

We got to see the baby elephant Zuri while we were there too.  I also found out that Zuri is the same age as Ace!Baby Elephant Zuri

Here’s Dan and Jacyn watching the elephant show.

The kids had a lot of fun riding the carousel.

The last time we were at the Zoo Jacyn was about the same age that Ace was this time around.  We got a picture of her and Aunt Marin in the exit turn style then, so we had to take a current picture this time too.

And then one with Ace too!

On our way out Ace decided to climb the turn style.  He was having a lot of fun, until the workers saw him and freaked out!  Woops, I guess we give our kids too much leeway sometimes.  Dan was there to catch him if anything happened though.
