The Zoo

Last weekend we decided to go to the Hogle Zoo while I'm still able to enjoy the luxories of a single stroller. My mom, 2 sisters and their families came with us so it was pretty fun to have all the little kids there. Most of the animals were out so the kids could actually see them instead of staring at an empty cage. Addison kept wanting to ride every animal she saw so explaining to her that the giraffe proably wouldn't appreciate having her take him for a test drive did not make her happy. Luckily, we only had a few meltdowns and of course, my nephew, Stockton, slept through most of it!
I think I scared Matt Smith (yes, our family has several duplicate names so I have to specify the family) by my driving and tailgating the slow pokes on I-215, so I wish I had a picture of his face while I was running people off the road, but here are a few pictures that I did get of our trip!


Riding the train with dad! I even told the driver "thank you " when it was over!


Kendall, not quite sure how she got on the train when her mom wasn't on it....We decided she would be the easiest kid to kidnap...she just stares at you when you take her.


"This was a long day!"


"Riding with Dad making sure he was always holding my legs"

So enjoying the benefits of the single stroller..... what is that about? Do you have a little something to tell me?

To make kidnapping matters easier--Kendall just pointed to her picture and said, "lookie, it's Cadence"
