Zoo Trip

January 31st: This was another first for me--a trip to the zoo in January. In Jan & Feb Brookfield Zoo offers lots of free days each week. When my friend Erika asked if we wanted to take a trip to the zoo to celebrate Audrey's birthday we were more than happy to go! This is our whole crew: Sadie, Audrey, Macey, Man (Scott), Colee, & Kinnick
Audrey & Sadie are about 8 weeks apart, Colee & Kinnick are 4 months apart, and Macey & Man just 6 weeks apart. We usually get together about once a week and the kids have a blast playing together!

We enjoyed great weather. We spent a lot of our time at indoor exhibits but it was nice to enjoy the fresh air also. It's great to be at the zoo when it isn't super crowded and everyone is not hot and crabby.

We packed a lunch and were able to enjoy an inside picnic during our visit.

Audrey gave these pants to Sadie b/c she had two pairs. The girls were way excited to see that they both wore them!

We ended our day in the "Children's Zoo" and really could have spent the entire day here. The kids always love painting faces and playing in the vet area.

But you've never seen a vet with make-up like this!

Macey is well familiar with this "tool".

What a great way to celebrate Audrey's 6th birthday...
