Our Zoo Trip

We headed to the zoo this past week. Going to the zoo in the fall is a first for us - we usually go in the summer. However, the weather was wonderful, and the crowds weren't as bad as they usually are in June or July.

Sean and I have made it to the zoo just about every year for the past several years. This was an extra special trip, as it was Aidan's first trip ever.

Of course, Ava was absolutely thrilled looking at all the animals. Aidan, on the other hand, was a bit grumpy at first. Eventually he warmed up to it and seemed to enjoy his surroundings.

Although all they did was sleep, Ava maintains the lions were her favorite. A couple other fun moments were the dolphin show, and Ava playing peek-a-boo with the walrus. Towards the end of the trip, Ava played on the playground a bit, we picked up a puzzle for the kids in the gift shop, then enjoyed a picnic lunch before departing.

Can't wait for next year!
