Hannah, Micah, and I met up with Grandma and Grandpa Eye and family today and went to the zoo. Aunt Marilyn is here visiting from Kentucky and we wanted to actually see her before she left! LOL Philip, Kimi, and the girls came, too. After driving around for 45 minutes looking for parking (may be a slight exaggeration, but not much) we finally made it inside. After the prerequisite bathroom stops (kids pee A LOT), we started our tour. We made it through the first few exhibits pretty well, but then the kids were hungry, or hot, or itchy! LOL I think we managed to see four or five exhibits in 2 hours! LOL We spent most of the time in the chuildren's zoo, watching the kids run around and climb on the animal stautes and slide through the hollow "logs" and turtle shells. I took some really nice pictures, but they are on my phone, so I have to figure out how to upload them. Our camera is not working very well right now, so I have to learn a whole new set of technical skills! Overall, we had a great time. Hannah and Micah were troopers- this was our first walking activity without the wagon! Micah walked 99% of the time and never forgot to hold my hand... :) We looked at every snake, lizard, spider, bat, etc., etc., but managed to miss the monkeys, the tigers, the koalas, etc. LOL The priorities of a little boy are so boy-ish!! LOL I love it! Hannah didn't mind either. She was way into the frogs and the white alligator. By the way, that white alligator has been there forever!

I'm sorry I don't have pictures to put up, but I will post them when I learn how to work my phone! :D In the mean time, I will upload them to Facebook if you can't wait! Oh! and I apologize for all the exclamation points...I'm on a sugar high right now! LOL
