Kevin's birthday, pt1

Since Kevin's birthday is on Veteran's Day, he takes the day off. We used the time to go to the zoo as a family. We watched the weather all morning and decided to just go after lunch. Let me tell you, that was the way to do it. All the school field trips were leaving, most people had gone home for the day, plus the weather had been iffy. So, it was almost like we had the place to ourselves.

We saw every animal. Ok, so we didn't stop and look at each and every one- the bird area smells- but we walked the entire zoo. All the baby animals were so cute- tigers, lions, giraffes.


Checking out the Gulf touch tank.
Beth touched the shells, Jacob thought he was big getting to be that close to all the stuff.


The momma lion and two of her cubs


Jacob would "hoohoo" at the monkeys and roar at the lions.

Then, we rode the zoo train to the bottom to head home.
It was a great day together as a family. Plus, the kiddos were worn out!

She had jeans and a somewhat fitted shirt on the other day. She's so tall and skinny! Luckily, the one thing she got from me was long legs.
