Play Date

We took another trip to the zoo this time with some friends. We had a great time... I adore everyone of these ladies and their kids. Some of the older kids sat in the splash zone at the dolphin show and Alexa was chosen to go up and help the trainer...she got splashed.

The mommies recruited some of the older kids to take pictures of us. We were standing in a nook by the Kodiak bears and some other zoo patrons thought for sure the kids were taking pictures of the bears...surprise!! Just a bunch of silly, but good looking, mommies. Dayton and Mackenzie didn't get to take the mommy pictures so these are the photos they did take .

Mackenzie started to not feel so well just before lunch and stayed pretty lethargic the rest of the day. She doesn't do so well in the sunshine sometimes. We would stop to see some of the animals and I would turn around and find Mackenzie on a bench somewhere lying down. The other kids found any opportunity they could to get wet...who knew a misting sprinkler could bring such enjoyment.

Mackenzie was able to hold a butterfly...Dayton was so close. The butterfly had a leg on Dayton's finger but not all the way. He was pretty bummed. Alexa held several but she was never close by me when I had the camera out.

All in all a great day at the zoo. Fun, friends, laughter, and lots of memories.
