Zoo- here we come

Last weekend we took Elem sooo many fun places! I will blog on the other places tomorrow maybe, but for now, I wanted to share how much fun we had at the zoo! I was soo excited for our family to go and just spend some time outside in the sun, looking at the animals, and basically just chillin and not rushing to get anywhere. So we piled everyone into the car, called Aunty Ali, Uncle Dustin, Cecilia, and Spoon and Laura and headed to the Little Rock Zoo!

Look out animals here we come!


Since we hadnt been before, we took our stroller and cecilias super cool wagon! Not that either of the kids rode in them for too long, but her at least we had a place to put our stuff while we carried the kids.


It was actually the first time Seth and I had time to talk to each other outside of our home, just in a very calm atmosphere in such a long time! We so happy! :)


Now to start off we went and checked out the bears. Elem was a little confused at first, because I dont think he knew what they were or really what he was supposed to be looking at. But after a few bear visits he started saying Dog, dog dog. Which he continued to say for the rest of the day to every single animal we saw!So if I do say so myself, at least he connected that Sage is a dog since she is an animal, so the other things look like animals and must be dogs too. Sounds good to me. Then we were off to the petting zoo, which I was so excited about and could to wait to let Elem feed a goat or something, and of all things it was closed! I think they shut it down due to several of the animals having some disease. Yuck! So we headed straight to the playground for a few minutes where the kids could run around.


And then to the most favorite part of the day-the monkeys! Elem LOVED the monkeys. The big ones the little ones all of them! Here is everybody checking out the monkeys swinging on the ropes and the second one of Elem and daddy and Elem just laughin like crazy at the monkies swinging everywhere! It was the cutest thing ever! He was so happy.



He liked the fence time and checking out the fish and the ducks.

Cecilia and Elem, " hey who built these walls??? We cant hardly see the gorillas!"


We walked around the entire zoo and went to every single part of the park. Although the kids were tired by the end of the day, it was so much fun and so worth it! I can already tell that I am totally going to buy those summer passes where like you can get in with your kid any time you want to, just so you can have something to do. And that way you can just take him for about an hour or so, and then head home for lunch and a nap! So cool! We have been sp busy since the zoo, so it was an awesome tim to get some fresh air and enjoy nature!
