To the zoo, zoo, zoo....

We met up with some friends today and went to the zoo.
I'll tell you, the family annual pass is the thing to have!

We hung out at the kids section for a long time.
While Antonio and my friend's daughter played all over the place, we were able to chill with the baby and catch up with each other.

They had face painters.
Her daughter came back with a cute little dolphin on her cheek.
Antonio came back as this:



And exclaimed, "I'm a beaver!"*

Next we went to the aquarium. Julia was entranced by the fish. She was so happy to just sit and watch them for the rest of the afternoon, it seemed.
Down at the shark tank display, she stood at the wall and yelled at them and the tuna as they swam by.



And, because no zoo visit would be complete without 'nature happening'
I'll share with you this....



he had no shame.

And that, was it for our zoo visit. No dragging burnt out children through another exhibit. Just those 3 and we took the still happy kids out to lunch.
