Trip to the Zoo

On labor day, because we had nothing better to do, we headed to the zoo. My oh my! Since when does it cost a family $50 to be so crowded you hardly get to enjoy yourself? At least Ian didn't throw any tantrums. The zoo is much more manageable with the hubby in tow. Here are some of the highlights...

This gorilla was pretty interesting. It stood at the glass and stared at us. Ian was pretty impressed and was even talking about it the next day.

The line for seeing how you measure up to a gorilla was too long so we settled for the orangutan. Not quite the same.

Looks like we got a bunch of Prairie dogs!

Me and my cuties

Wonder what Owen is pointing at?

The traditional picture of drinking out of the lion's mouth

Zuri the baby elephant...pretty cute!

Lagoon-Family day

I've decided that Lagoon is much more fun with the kids. Even though Ian did have a few melt downs we had so much fun at Lagoon on Thursday. Here is everyone when we first got on Rattlesnake Rapids

Here is everyone after!

Millie was much braver than I was at her age. She went with me on the Fire dragon, the Spider, the Tidal wave, the Wild mouse, Jet star 2, and the Bat. I was so surprised! Next year I'm taking her on Wicked!

Museum of Ancient Life

We had an opportunity to go to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving point with some of our family tonight. We got tickets to the museum, the mammoth screen 3-D movie, hot dogs, drinks and popcorn for less than a regular priced ticket to the museum! It was a lot of fun although Adam and I had a hard time adjusting our eyes to the 3-D movie. I also wish that we could have spent more time there and not rushed through it since I doubt we'll be going back anytime soon.
