A Day at the Zoo

I pre-apologize, this is quite long. Porter chillin' in his new zoo sunglasses.

Mommy and her baby. Lunchtime. This was so cute.
Welcome to the zoo. Here's all the kids totally excited. It really turned out to be a gorgeous day. It was great.
We just got treats and Danny is screaming bloody murder because the sun is in his eyes.
Mern and his new sunglasses.
Emma smashing in her new zoo hat.

All four in front of the wrestling bears. Danny again screaming because the sun is in his eyes.
Wrestling bears. Everyone at the zoo was so excited about this.
The cougar came right up to the fence, staring at everyone. She is pretty.
Danny and Porter checking out the cougars.
Hyrum and Emma in front of the cougar cage.

Mern took the picture. That would be his finger but at least mom got to be in one picture. Here we are riding the train.
Porter riding the train. He loved it. When we got there, they had to gas up the train and so they took it away and he cried like mad. Then we finally got on and he loved it. Then when we had to get off, he cried and cried. I felt so bad.
Emma excited to ride the train.

The kids in front of the giraffes. Finally one that Dan isn't crying in.

This really was a great day. It was suppose to rain and so I was so apprehensive about going. Man, I am glad we did. It really was so much fun. Mom finally got some good exercise and the kids had a lot of fun. We walked the zoo and then they played on the playground for a while, then the train. It was absolutely beautiful. In fact Mern, Porter, and Mom all got hot and had to take off their coats. Just an absolutely perfect day with the kids.
