2 1/2 years old and Our Trip To The Zoo

This past Saturday, we took the kids to the zoo. Our first stop was the Children's Zoo (while it was free). The kids were a little weary of the goats, but Evan started warming up to them and touched them a couple of times. By the time Leah was ready to pet one, the goat turned around and started nibbling on her sweater. Of course, she freaked out and I think it was more of me yelling at the goat, "Stop it! Stop it!" that scared her. We left there in a hurry and onto the next animal exhibit.
They enjoyed the giraffes ("jaffees"), the elephants ("effafants"), and the hippopotamus ("?").
We rode the train around the zoo; which the kids enjoyed. However; Leah does not like the tunnels we had to go through and each time we entered, she would bury her head in Greg's lap.
On Sunday, the kids turned 2 1/2 years old! Crazy! We had a great afternoon playing with them in the backyard and enjoyed a great dinner outside on the patio. It was one of those nights where the weather is perfect, the food is great and the company is even better. They were hysterical and so much to be around. I am so glad I took a step back, enjoyed the moment and took it all in.
