Day at the zoo.

My friend Missy and I decided to take the kids to the zoo one last time this season. Our zoo in Fort Wayne is really nice, but it is only open from May-September. I think it will be open on weekends in October, so maybe we will get another chance for their costume and candy walks.

I was so excited to see the lions this close. They are usually sleeping way off in the distance, so this was pretty neat. 

Same thing with the giraffes! If they weren't eating lunch I thought they might walk over and see us. 

Max chillin' in his egg. 

Dress up time in the Australia House. 

Max is in love with trains. We had a coupon for a free ride for our entire party, so we took advantage of it. This was our first time riding the zoo train- he really enjoyed it!

Leo enjoyed himself as well :) 

I have never seen this turtle move before! I was shocked. 

We also got to take a log water ride. Another first for Max and I. I kind of felt like we were going on a safari or something, lol. 

On both the train and the log ride, Max really liked the tunnels. I think this must be common for kids-- I remember getting excited about an underground tunnel at the the Toledo zoo EVERY time we went there! 

I love Kangaroos! :) The first time I saw them with Clint all of the mama's had little joey's in their pouches- adorable. 

The kids had a great time playing and looking at the animals. It was much cooler, so most of the animals were out and we were able to stay a lot longer. It was the first time we were able to go to all of the exhibits in one visit!
