A Zoopendous Day!

Kari and I took the 5 little Falk boys to the zoo for the day. We met up with Rachel and her crew.
It was a gorgeous day! The kiddos had loads of fun and the mommies got tons of exercise!

Sweet (but not always so sweet) brothers.

Me and my 3 favorite small people.

I love Isaac’s expression here. He was amazed the bird actually landed on him!


Lincoln’s favorite part! (Remember he had a giraffe theme for his 1st birthday?) I couldn’t wait to show him a real giraffe up close. He even got to hand feed it! At one point the giraffe stuck his looong (18 inches) tongue out and touched Lincoln’s belly. He cried when it was time to leave those huge beautiful animals!



“Got anything good in there, Josie?”
Aren’t they the cutest?

The 3 Mabry kids and the 3 Falk kids watching the gorillas.


Another picture for their wedding sideshow. Ha!


Ethan and a black widow spider.
The insect house was by far the highlight of the day for Ethan and Isaac. Recently, Ethan has been asking about different poisonous bugs and spiders. He was able to see each one that he has been talking about! Among his favorites: black widow, scorpions, brown recluse spider, hissing cockroaches, and tarantulas. Yuck! Isaac was fascinated with the ant tunnels that ran all around the building. They could have spent hours in this place!

Forget about a nice group shot… this was taken on our way out and they were just as tired as the moms were.

We ended the day with a pizza from Papa Murphys and a little picnic with neighbor, Halle.
Looks like a fun day!! Looks like you even got to see an orange dog there! Watch your lunch, kids!!
Tell Ethan that I just squished a big black widow in my garden a couple of days ago!
I love Papa Murphy’s pizza!
It was a fun day, except for the explosive diaper I had to change. Alex looks like he’s picking his nose in the first picture. Nice! I like the picture of Isaac with the bird, and Ethan’s face with the black widow. Very funny!
Phew! That was a full car! Looks like so much fun! The lion picture was amazing…ours (from our old camera) were so far away you couldn’t tell what they were. Are the ant tunnels something new? I don’t remember those from my last visit…of course it was two years ago. I’m glad Kari got some good use out of the wagon.
