The GaZOO

We took advantage of free museum day and then got fenaggled into taking 18 kids to the zoo with us. Ok so we took three extras, plus my sisters came and were so helpful and Chelise and the kiddos came too. It was actually a lot of fun, and totally worth the free admission. I am glad to have gotten the Sac Zoo out of our system because it was not worth the $11 adult admission we would have had to pay. But who knows, maybe someday Braden will beg us to go to the zoo and we will give in. It was a little rainy, but we dealt with it and had a ton of fun.
The Whole Gang
Cute Braden had so much fun seeing the animals and was fascinated by the monkeys who screamed just like he does.
Just enjoying a little plastic between the ol chompers.

My favorite animal, the giraffe, was all tucked inside with his buddies, but we did get to sneak a peek at them inside while they were spying and eating. By the end of our trip, Braden was exhausted and fell asleep sitting up. So funny! Notice the huge bandage covering Devs neck? He had a cyst cut out of his neck the day before complete with a few stitches. I am surprised Braden didnt rip that bandage off but instead nuzzled right up to it to sleep. SICK!!!

You were seriously heaven sent that day. It was nice to have a kid free day (for me to have a break and for Em and my Mom to have some quiet in the house). And I'm so not surprised that Trev is in the stroller...he's not quite as energy filled as Hyrum and Ellie! You guys are awesome. Hopefully my next trip to Cali involves Rand and we can hang out.
