Best Zoo Trip Ever

We went to the zoo this morning and it was the best zoo trip so far, mostly because we went with Alice, Katie, and Wes. Nicholas got the zoo AND Alice--the boy was in heaven. And I got good company and extra sets of parental hands. So much fun.

Here are the highlights of our trip in pictures.

The kids are now old enough to sit on the lion alone. They didn't really understand why we wanted them to sit on a metal lion, but the sat there.

They were fascinated by the bear. And as Wes pointed out, if you frame the picture properly it looks like they are actually in the cage with the bear.

The little tractors are so much fun! Neither of them can reach the pedals yet, but they liked being pushed around, and especially when they got to crash.

Both kids like the goat petting zoo, but Nicholas this time got really into it. He was a machine. He went to each goat and petted it, then moved on to the next one. Then he went and got brushes and brushed them all. We must have been in that area for at least 20 minutes and Nicholas was loving it.

Most of my pictures are of the kids together, but I got a couple of them individually. Here is my favorite of Alice (and her daddy):

And here is my little boy hard at work:
