Zoo Trip

This morning we took a trip to the zoo with Kelsey, Brookie, & Aubrey. It was so much fun! We haven't been in at leat a year and a half, so Eli couldn't stop talking about it as we were getting ready to leave and all the way there. He kept asking where the zoo was as I drove. We went to the petting zoo first and I didn't get any pictures of the kids with the goats. But there was a goat on a bench that jumped off and knocked Eli over. Poor guy. I think he was more surprised than hurt. That ended Eli's desire to keep petting the goats. But he and Brookie had fun playing on the toy areas and then we had to stop for a camel ride. Brookie & Eli rode all by themselves! Eli looked really nervous when it was his turn to get on, but by the end of it he was all smiles. As they were waiting in line to get on, they were holding hands. Too cute! We rode the train around to see the zebras, giraffes, lions, elephants, and many other animals. Then before we left we let them ride the carousel. Ava did really well in the stroller for most of it. She was able to get out and run around a little while Brookie & Eli were playing on the toys. I snapped a few pictures of her then. And she really thought the turkeys were funny. Just laughed and laughed---you can see the smile on her face in the picture.
