Zoo

So Monday of last week we packed up two cars and headed to the zoo!

5 adults and 5 kiddos (4 of which are 3 and under)

It was fun, fun, fun....but I think next time we will not go when it is 100 degrees outside! I believe more fun would have been had if we were not avoiding the sun, trying to cool off and making sure to stay hydrated. The NC Zoo has lots to offer and is the perfect distance from Raleigh for an easy day trip. Here are just a few pictures from our day.

All the cousins: Jack Matt Lorelei Noah and Emma

Ice Cream was a MUST...since it was so hot and all!

The merry go round was a huge hit...

One of my faves from the day:

Emma decided to go with the lion

The otters were so cute!

Lunch

Don't you just want to HUG him?

Sea Lions

Emma just LOVED it! It is something I will keep on the short list of things to do with Emma on a pretty day. Can't wait to go back :)
