We got invited to the zoo by some of our favorite friends, the Gregory's! We don't usually see them unless its summer time because with my two busy boys and her four busy boys, there is NEVER time!! So we try to make the most of our summer freedom and hang out with them when we can! We hadn't been to the zoo in 2 years, when we went with them last! It was fun to see all the sights again, plus some new exhibits! With 6 boys, we kinda felt like we brought some of the zoo to the zoo ;-)
Grant brought a little monkey friend because, well...its the zoo!! And we saw his little monkey twin right off the bat!
It had rained like 7" the night before, so there were a few things that were closed until the rain dried out, the Sky Tram being one of them. We were so excited when we heard it opened up, so we headed on over to take a trip! Grant noticed the "Grant's Zebra" sign on the pole.
We visited to Chimpanzee Playhouse for quite sometime. They were pretty active and there were a lot of them to watch. But the cutest was this little girl. She was one 3 months old I think. I could've sat and watched her all day! Grant could've too!
But there was more monkeying around we needed to do...
It started to get really hot and humid, so it was time for a train ride! Becca treated all the boys to an Icee to help cool down! Loved this sweet pic I grabbed!
Time to a train ride before heading home so these wild animals could rest! Not pictured- the tiniest animal sitting between me and Becca, so he wouldn't get loose :)
The trip to the zoo was awesome but even better was time spent with the Gregory's!!
They realized while eating lunch, that between our families we had a 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, and 4 year old! They said one of our families just needs a 5 year old! ;-)
