Well Hello Again, Zoo...

On Saturday we decided to take advantage of our semi-fallish weather and hit the zoo. (By semi-fallish, I mean less than 105 degrees.) It was pretty toasty by the time we arrived at 12:30, but not miserable, and we ended up having a lot of fun. (Certainly this was in large part because of the exorbitantly-priced kettle corn that we happily consumed.) I don't think we've been to the zoo since Alexa was born so it was a happy reunion for all, especially the elephants...apparently they really missed us.

Fun Aunt Laura was here for the weekend and came along to play.

Lexa wanted to give a little shout out to all her peeps.

Perhaps not the greatest day to be caught in a fake spiderweb.

Laura bought the girls Koala bears after a

conversation that went like this:

Julia: Can we buy some koala bears today?

Daddy: Hmm, maybe next time when Grandma & Grandpa are here.

Julia: But...Laura's here!

Because roaring like a lion while holding on to a newly

acquired koala bear is every girls' fantasy.

Not everyone is a fan of the fake baby elephant, though.

What an end to a swell (but not sweltering) day!
