Yesterday we made another trip to the zoo. The weather was just to beautiful not to go. We always start from the front, work our way to the back and then ride the train back to the front before we go home but this time we tried something different. Bear loves the part in the back and yesterday I pieced together why that it is. It has nothing to do with the train, or otters, bears, bugs or really cool alligators. Nope it's all about the many buttons you can push and phones you can pretend to talk on.

Here is Timbo enjoying himself. This was his first time to ride in the wagon and he loved it. It's just the right height to see threw the fences.

Too funny, when Kati saw this picture later she said "Why is my face like that?"

Timothys first ice cream sandwich.

Since we started at the back we needed to find somewhere other than the Lion's exhibit to eat lunch and we found a winner. The kids ate right in front of a huge observation window for the black bear cubs.

I love this convex window by the otters.

This is Timbo's reaction to watching the otter swim by.

Kati wanted to be a helper.

My favorite part of Dad going to the zoo with us is not about adorable moments like this one

or this one

or even this one, even though I do love watching him with my kids. No, my favorite part about Daddy going with us is our times of talking, sharing stories and animal facts.
